Lyrics Simple Solution (Live at Glasgow Garage 2002) - Nazareth

Old man, don't tell me what you did in your day
I got problems of my own on the way
So look you now, where the locusts abound
Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground

Vibrations, are burning my hands
Slowly walking, stalking through these crazy lands
Defending the need, with a silent scream
For another time, for another dream

Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and the spray guns
We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now

No cheap, clean, is gonna wash away my blues
I need a real good friend, he's gonna give me some clues
The one on the cross, he had it boss he was really gonna spread the news
But the destruct mutt, he's back in business he ain't about to lose

Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and spray guns
We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now

And the price for life
Is one more run on that chicken wire
As the hero returns, with eyes of fire
To another man to man, sit down you man

Old man don't tell me what you did in your day
I've got problems of my own on the way
So look you now, where the locusts abound
Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground

Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and the spray guns
We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now
