It's All Too Much
Some days I can't get started Wondering which shoe to put on first Or should I brush my teeth Before or after I put on my shirt So many big decisions Boiled or scrambled, fried or even raw I'm so damn open-minded Used to think I'm lucky but I'm cursed I hate this supermarket But I have to say it makes me think A hundred mineral waters It's fun to guess which ones are safe to drink Two hundred brands of cookies 87 kinds of chocolate chip They say that choice is freedom I'm so free it drives me to the brink And you know why - it's all too much It's all too much for me to bear What kind of shampoo suits my hair It's all too much to struggle thru Especially without you Won't you please come home Honey please come home Songtexte I read the morning paper But it all changes by the evening news The world got so much smaller I don't know which piece of it to choose I'd like to fight apartheid Wish that I could fight the guy upstairs I'd solve a dozen cases If only there weren't so many clues What shall we do this evening Send out for some sushi and champagne Stay in and watch TV 50 channels can't all be the same Maybe go to a movie 50 films on 50 tiny screens They say that choice is freedom I'm so free it's driving me insane And you know why - it's all too much It's all too much for me to stand So much supply and no demand There's just too much for me to do Especially without you Won't you please come home Honey please come home I'd like to get to know All the many people I could be If I just had the time I'm sure I could find out which one is me Maybe I need religion Or meditation 'til I disappear They say that choice is freedom I'm so free I'm stuck in therapy And you know why - it's all too much It's all too much for me to take Try to be real, feel like a fake It's all too much to follow thru Especially without you Honey please come home Won't you please come home Aus Songtexte Mania
