Complicated Life - The Kinks

Well I woke this morning with a pain in my neck

A pain in my heart and a pain in my chest

I went to the doctor and the good doctor said

You gotta slow down your life or you're gonna be dead

Cut out the struggle and strife

It only complicates your life

Well I cut down women I cut out booze

I stopped ironing my shirts cleaning my shoes

I stopped going to work stopped reading the news

I sit and twiddle my thumbs cos I got nothing to do

Minimal exercise

To help uncomplicate my life

Gotta stand and face it life is so complicated

Ladi dah di dahdah ladi dah di dah dah

You gotta get away from the complicated life son

Life is overrated life is complicated

Must alleviate this complicated life

Cut out the struggle and strife

It's such a complicated life

Like old Mother Hubbard

I got nothin in the cupboard

Got no dinner and I got no supper

Holes in my shoes I got holes in my socks

I can't go to work cos I can't get a job

The bills are rising sky high

It's such a complicated life

Gotta stand and face it

Life is so complicated

Ladi dah di dahdah ladi dah di dah dah

Gotta get away from the complicated life son

Life is overrated life is complicated

Must alleviate this complicated life

Life is overrated life is complicated

Must alleviate this complicated life

Life is overrated life is complicated

Must alleviate this complicated life

Gotta get away from the complicated life son

Gotta get away from the complicated life
