Joe Jackson - It's All Too Much Lyrics
Some days I cant get startedWondering which shoe to put on firstOr should I brush my teethBefore or after I put on my shirtSo many big decisionsBoiled or scrambled, fried or even rawIm so damn open-mindedUsed to think Im lucky but Im cursedI hate this supermarketBut I have to say it makes me thinkA hundred mineral watersIts fun to guess which ones are safe to drinkTwo hundred brands of cookies87 kinds of chocolate chipThey say that choice is freedomIm so free it drives me to the brinkAnd you know why - its all too muchIts all too much for me to bearWhat kind of shampoo suits my hairIts all too much to struggle thruEspecially without youWont you please come homeHoney please come homeI read the morning paperBut it all changes by the evening newsThe world got so much smallerI dont know which piece of it to chooseId like to fight apartheidWish that I could fight the guy upstairsId solve a dozen casesIf only there werent so many cluesWhat shall we do this eveningSend out for some sushi and champagneStay in and watch tv50 channels cant all be the sameMaybe go to a movie50 films on 50 tiny screensThey say that choice is freedomIm so free its driving me insaneAnd you know why - its all too muchIts all too much for me to standSo much supply and no demandTheres just too much for me to doEspecially without youWont you please come homeHoney please come homeId like to get to knowAll the many people I could beIf I just had the timeIm sure I could find out which one is meMaybe I need religionOr meditation til I disappearThey say that choice is freedomIm so free Im stuck in therapyAnd you know why - its all too muchIts all too much for me to takeTry to be real, feel like a fakeIts all too much to follow thruEspecially without youHoney please come homeWont you please come home
