Simple Things is de eerste single van het debuut album van dbClifford genaamd Recyclable. Dit album zal 2 april in de winkels verschijnen. De single is echter al wel eerder te verkrijgen. Mocht deze single je wel aanstaan, op zijn MySpace zijn nog een paar andere nummer te beluisteren.

Songtekst:

I’m checking out the headlines,
They say the human race is dying.
Boys and girls are crying
In a picture of their nations fighting…
The more I think about it,
The harder it gets for me to find the things that
Used to make me happy and I know it’s all been said before but

I need peace and I need love,
I need all the things sent from above,
I need chocolate cake and lemon pie,
I need all the things that make me smile,
I want rain, and I want sunshine,
I want all the things sent from the sky
That put a smile upon my face,
And make this world a better place

When I’m feeling down, I think of
Simple things that help me get by…

Power and religion
Are holding hands against all reason,
Soon the politicians
Will be touching little boys with the pop’s permission…
I never thought I’d cry
From seeing people die for their own convictions
I know it’s all been said before
But still you don’t seem to stop the war

I need peace and I need love,
I need all the things sent from above,
I need chocolate cake and lemon pie,
I need all the things that make me smile,
I want rain, and I want sunshine,
I want all the things sent from the sky
That put a smile upon my face,
And make this world a better place
I need the simple things that help me get by

I give no name to those who claim
The right to use our lives for power games
Leaders and rulers
I believe will soon shoot us
If we don’t stand and fight
For our right to a better world
And I know it’s all been said before
But still you don’t seem to stop the war…

When it’s all too much
And I’m feeling low…
When it’s all too much,
I need simple things like peace
And I need love
I need all the things sent from above,
I need chocolate cake and lemon pie,
I need all the things that make me smile,
I want rain, and I want sunshine,
I want all the things sent from the sky
That put a smile upon my face,
And make this world a better place
