Live - Simple Creed Lyrics






born with your back to the god that spit you out on the riverbed angry at who?
me? you better back up fool i bet you took a gun to school too but now,
nobody's takin your candy you just keep on livin this tragedy
la da da da da da da, to each his own,
but i wait for you to take my hand

cuz we need each other we gotta love each other

born with your back to the god that picked you up by your puppy scruff angry
at who? me?
you better back up fool and be grateful that the real me's always hidin'
from you now, nobody's takin your bicycle
maybe somebody should take your microphone
la da da da da da da, to each his own,
but i wait for you to understand

that we need each other we gotta love each other that we need each other

[TRICKY RAP]

i wait for you to take my i wait for you to take my hand

yeah, cuz we need each other you know,
we gotta love each other cuz we need each other,
yeah we gotta love, gotta love each other

(this simple creed of love is all i follow this simple creed of love is all i follow)

Live Simple Creed Comments
  1. M.... B....

    From the :Last decent Live album before Ed sold his soul. rejected Eastern Mysticism and became a boring Evan Christian. It's like he has forgotten who he was.

  2. M.... F....

    I have a reoccurring dream where Ed and I are married. .......hmmmmmm some day???? Lmao

  3. C.... S....

    I bet you took a gun to school too

  4. s.... j....

    LIVE, CREED, COLLECTIVE SOUL + LENNY KRAVITZ = U2 AND THE CLASH POWERHOUSE OF ALTERNATIVE ROCK CHRISTIAN BANDS :)

  5. s.... j....

    SIMPLE CREED???? LIVE WROTE THIS SONG ABOUT THE BAND CREED :)

  6. S.... B....

    Wayyy over produced sounds sterile.

  7. T.... ....

    He looks so much better without hair...

  8. J.... A....

    💖💖💖💖💖

  9. V.... ....

    I genuinely like the album. I can remember listening to it when I was pregnant with my daughter and when she was a new born. It seems like yesterday! And now she’s literally an adult.

  10. D.... G....

    Great song,great band ! 😀👍

  11. J.... D....

    I LOVE HOW THESE 2 CAME TOGETHER AND DID SONGS ON EACH OTHERS ALBUMS - TRICKY

    J.... D....

    which album did live do in trickys
    aftermath or what

  12. T.... S....

    hey, is not the "rap section", IS TRICKY!

    T.... S....

    is less bad song from a band that really goes bad with the year, those "oportunistic" nineties alt rock bands, really become all very cheesy and not alternative at all as time pass... but this song is not that bad

  13. T.... L....

    Remembering a simpler time..

  14. S.... F....

    Man these guys were huge back in their day. Had a lot of wicked songs. Still listen weekly, it will never get old.

  15. d.... ....

    Best LIVE song!!! Lovin It in 2019!

  16. J.... S....

    Holy crap! I was today years old when I realized that Tricky was in this song! ☝️💕

  17. N.... V....

    Probably their worst song. I weirdly loved this as a kid. I understand why i liked it but really. Objectively this is a bad song. The lyrics is lame. The song itself is messy. And its just a constant repeat. Its like this song was written in a day. Its weird cause with all their other songs you can tell that they have a huge passion for what they're doing. But this just felt like a huge step off like they didnt give a shit

  18. T.... L....

    Still holds true today!
    And still a great song!

  19. M.... G....

    Live, 30 seconds tho mars e muitas bandas que estão aí fazendo muitas musica boa. Eu sou da decada dos anos 80 uma epoca que o rock estava com bandas comecando mostrar o seu profissionalismo na música. E são bandas que representaram . Gente quem gosta de rock internacional ou nacional vamos escutar musicas de qualidade. Ouvir Wesley Safadao, Plabo Vittar e etc. E falar que isto é música. Gente a musica popular brasileira está acabando. Anita ganhou o prêmio de melhor cantora nacional. Meu a Anita têm que aprender muito sobre música. Vamos valorizar a musica popular brasileira.

  20. A.... A....

    nice😘

  21. b.... r....

    Live, Linkin Park, Marilyn Manson, Tool, Stabbing Westward, Gravity Kills. What happened to music in the 2000"s? Now there's just crap out there.

  22. A.... S....

    That dude can stick his bubble gum! Ed come on! Your vocals beat anyone elses ive ever heard!!!!

  23. W.... N....

    Live clássica favorita de rock valeu gostei muito obrigado pela música simples creed legal ótimo música de rock valeu gostei muito obrigado pela música

  24. W.... N....

    Live música clássica favorita pop rock anos nesta época era melhor 2001 live simples creed legal ótimo música de rock que há ouvir e muito boa valeu obrigado

  25. K.... ....

    It's not a terrible song, or a terrible album, but if you compare it to the first 3 albums, by their own standards, it's not the best material. What;s crazy is the best track off the album is the remix for a song that features on Fast and the Furious OST....

  26. S.... R....

    A reminder that the music LIVE made after their "heyday" is as good as any of the music that brought them to the top of the charts. "V" and "Birds of Prey" are awesome. Particularly the latter. www.weaponofselfdistraction.com

  27. T.... R....

    This album is ridiculous. Its not really Live. Its some other weird ass band. I probably would like it more if it was just a different band. I think its ok for bands to change and experiment, but this just was not the right direction at all.

    T.... R....

    Tim Renken I understand. The first time I listened to it I felt the same way. But after listening to it more, it grew on me. Maybe it'll grow on you as well.

  28. l.... ....

    I’m loving Chad Taylor’s stomping ground at 0:17 😎🤟🏽

  29. y.... d....

    TRIKY! !!

  30. E.... A....

    Love this song and this album. Though the video... it's trying to show the disenfranchised and outcast youth who are the ones rejected and hurting and lashing out... strangely pretty people cast for that kind of role.

  31. T.... G....

    Ed looks better when he’s bald

    T.... G....

    Awesome song though, Favorite song from “V”

  32. T.... G....

    V album wasn’t really that good but Simple Creed is my favorite song off the V album

    T.... G....

    What?
    Deep enough?

  33. S.... R....

    Love live and tricky

  34. A.... M....

    March For Our Lives 3-24-2018

  35. C.... S....

    It's fuckin trippy that Creed's What If reminded me of this song considering the title.

  36. R.... K....

    holy hecka these guys went downhill fast. how can they go from writing awesome songs like Lakini's Juice, White Discussion etc to this utter nonsense.

  37. N.... K....

    Eu me lembro deles tocando no programa "Planeta Xuxa" em 2001. Foi a melhor banda desse programa.

  38. R.... G....

    Fucking Beautiful !!!

  39. T.... G....

    I love this song!

  40. A.... B....

    Haters gonna be haters.
    Another awesome Live song.
    Looking forward to seeing them in Australia again in November, 18th November, 2017...

    A.... B....

    @Chace Shinohara Lmao. Please kid. Get a life. You're the one being rude to me. All i did was make points as to why this song is bad. If anyone is an a-hole its you for talking like that to me simply because you like the song and cant prove my points wrong

    A.... B....

    @Nicolaj Vangsgaard picked you up by your puppy scruff

    A.... B....

    @Chace Shinohara Lmao. Thats sad. You have to quote a terrible song to have a comeback

    A.... B....

    @Nicolaj Vangsgaard nicolaj vangagdgagrr

    A.... B....

    @Chace Shinohara Lol. Nice. Shinharararharahah

  41. m.... ....

    Glenn has taken my Candy! I'm very Angry!! Tragic scenario...:/

  42. T.... R....

    Very Good !!!

  43. P.... S....

    so goood

  44. T.... L....

    I needed to hear this today

  45. P.... B....

    Still love this song

  46. S.... S....

    Wow he had hair at some point?

  47. G.... 3....

    This song was huge in 2k1

  48. s.... j....

    Creed was very popular in 2000 - 2002 . I think Live did a good job writing a song about them

  49. s.... j....

    2000 - 2004 did something strange to rock music , Live was one of those bands going through some identity change

    s.... j....

    Yeah, mainstream radio was moving from grunge/alt rock to more pop/hip hop. A lot of the alternative bands got left behind, whilst others tried to reinvent themselves. Was a strange few years lol.

  50. S.... F....

    I fuckin love this song man!! May everybody live in peace.. Just sayin'.

  51. A.... e....

    da saudades mesmo! cenario de hoje ta foda..
    molecada ouvindo o falecido chorao e achando um som irado....
    vao sentar numa rola

    A.... e....

    Anderson escobar mas desculpa cara chorão era foda, mas respeito sua opinião, eu curto pra caralho Charlie Brown Jr, essa banda também é foda

  52. W.... S....

    Probably the last time Ed had hair.

  53. M.... ....

    You know you're on a tight budget for the video when they show clips of Tricky from his 'Evolution Revolution Love' video!

  54. J.... T....

    FUCK YEAH! Love these guys.
    Forgot about this album for days.

  55. S.... ....

    Ed with hair is a weird sight

    S.... ....

    I know man! Looks a little awkward must say.

    S.... ....

    Well if you watch the Selling the Drama video he got it grunge long style.

  56. h.... p....

    happy just to see him with hair.

  57. J.... R....

    Love this album!!!! <3

  58. C.... B....

    0:43 = Head from KORN

  59. M.... S....

    fucking good

  60. K.... S....

    fodastico!

    K.... S....

    +Karla Smenia é isso aí...

  61. A.... R....

    was this song a "dis" to Fred Durst?

  62. D.... T....

    Hey? ... I don't quite get it?

  63. b.... ....

    Haters will always be haters but nothing will change the fact that we lived and loved with this song in 2001.

    b.... ....

    As a huge fan of this band i can say that this is probably one of their worst songs. I used to love it but then i grew up. I understand why people like it because i did myself but really. Its bad

  64. A.... D....

    I remember jamming out to this in my car and elsewhere in the summer of 2001

  65. S.... R....

    I've seen some infomercials where he can go fix that hair loss thing. He can wash it, comb it, style it. He can mess that hair up if he wants to mess that hair up. It would be his own natural growing hair.

    S.... R....

    @Caesar Roldan LMAO HAHAHAHAHAHA Caesar, you're a true born spokesperson.

  66. R.... ....

    So funny how they just used footage of Tricky from the Evolution, Revolution, Love video.

  67. T.... S....

    Creed is'nt Creed without Scott !!!! bar-None!!!!

    T.... S....

    This isn't creed

    T.... S....

    Omahamaho babe!!! Fuck you too!!! Just what I thought!!!

    T.... S....

    Read what I caption the song "Dumb Ass"!!!! Creed is'nt Creed without Scott!!! bar-none!!! That would be Scoott Sapp Creed's orignal lead singer! Numb Nuts!!!

    T.... S....

    @Tony Switzer This is not creed, this is the band LIVE. Scott Sapp has never been in this band.

    T.... S....

    @billmanize WHAT THE DIFERENCE? :) LIVE, CREED, SIMPLE CREED
    ALL THESE BANDS BREAK UP, THE FRONTMAN / SINGER QUITS OR IS FIRED , KICKED OUT AND WE GET ALL THIS CRAZY MUSIC WITH SONG NAMES THAT SOUND LIKE OTHER BANDS :)

  68. k.... ....

    So weird with hair, but still cool

    k.... ....

    He had hair before Throwing Copper. I was surprised to see him bald when Throwing Copper came out.

    k.... ....

    +David Adams He looks like Andre Agassi haha

    k.... ....

    +kseustis Haha...yes, he does.

    k.... ....

    he wasn't balding - he just tried shaving the whole lot off one day and preferred it better aesthetically! I do too..thought it always suited him much better.

  69. b.... w....

    Nothing good ever came out of Harrisburg, Penn.

    b.... w....

    brad whitcomb they're from york, pa

  70. K.... ....

    Why are people hating on the band for this song? It's their best song!

    K.... ....

    I like this song, but it's my 3rd favorite on this album. That's not even counting the 20+ other songs from their other albums. Hey man if this is your fav, that's cool ...Great Band. ..One of the best concerts that I've ever been to.

    K.... ....

    @williamson53:
    think it's better than fucking you.

    K.... ....

    Aaaaaah. I understand why people would like it. As a kid this was one of my favorites but objectively this is a pretty bad song. The lyrics is lame and the song is messy and actually kinda annoying. They have alot of incredible songs like Lighting Crashes, Dolphin's Cry, Run To The Water, Overcome. And thats just to name a few. But this is not one of them

    K.... ....

    I think it's got a great chorus and I like the opening guitar riff, but the rest of it feels to me like a patchwork of neo-grunge cliches that just don't work well together. I love Live, but they absolutely phoned this one in.

    K.... ....

    No way.

  71. J.... D....

    Can not understand this song has not more views.

    J.... D....

    Jordy Dam Its not that great? Compared to earlier albums anyway, IMHO

  72. N.... W....

    Some petty people pissing on this song because of the rap part. Still 500x better than any bullshit released recently. In saying that, this album was the end of the band's power.

  73. J.... N....

    Puppyscruff, bro. Puppyscruff.

  74. M.... ....

    None of theses songs were meant to be released on an album, they were experimental for the band and reflected their extremely long tour, pretty much the whole record is about being on tour. They were also poking fun at themselves and current music, theses songs were meant to be freebies for the fans, it was the record label that forced them to release the V album, it turned out quite good overall.

    M.... ....

    I enjoyed the album but i agree with you. I read that the record label caught wind of this and said lets get this out! Fun fact was that they had a website that counted down the release date which was supposed to be 9-11-01 then a few weeks before they switched to 9-18. Very weird coincidence.

    M.... ....

    Makes sense. They lost me on this one. Never bought another since.

    M.... ....

    Birds of Pray, after this album, was pretty abysmal. If you heard that horribly sappy "Heaven" song, then you know.

  75. M.... G....

    This album was the 2001 equivalent of bands like the Rolling Stones who did Disco albums back in the late 70's, to cash in on its popularity. Rap/rock, nu-metal, pop, and clubbing were getting big (sadly, even today, we're still stuck in this trend, 11 years later) and Live felt they had to follow the mainstream or die. Well it obviously didn't work.

  76. i.... h....

    La parte del rap le da un toque especial al tema!

  77. P.... ....

    12 years later still awesome. !!

  78. H.... ....

    The odd rapping aside, these lyrics are just baffling.

  79. O.... ....

    22 egos think they need nobody.

  80. M.... ....

    Can people shut up bitching about the song and the band. If you don't like it don't listen. Granted throwing copper and Mental Jewelery were way better but it's not that fucking bad! Jesus.

  81. b.... ....

    Live for life!!

  82. I.... ....

    Boedistische rock....top band!

  83. N.... ....

    It's still a difficult lyric for me to hear from Ed.

  84. S.... C....

    anyone know where they shot the video?

  85. b.... ....

    pretty freakin gay!!

  86. a.... ....

    kinda not at all.

  87. v.... ....

    want the drummer.

  88. P.... ....

    nic cage is a fossil.

  89. K.... ....

    That's high praise.

  90. T.... ....

    he looks a bit like pauly shore buuuuuuuddddy

  91. U.... ....

    @mrsbonno Er, he had hair in the video for Selling the drama back in '93 ... y'know, before he shaved it all off.

  92. P.... F....

    Ed Kowlaczyk (Live) and Matt Bellamy (Muse) = Mozart and Beethoven of the 21st Century

  93. N.... ....

    @Jayguevara1982 Why exactly? Just asking.

  94. F.... ....

    I like that Ed isn't afraid to use unusual lyrics, instead of the typical cliches we always hear.

    F.... ....

    He later sunk into the quagmire of Christian bullshit though

  95. j.... ....

    A GREAT BAND LIKE LIVE HAVING THE WORD: CREED , IN THEIR SONG?? DOESNT MAKE SENSE

    DO YOU REALLY WANNA BE KNOWN AS THE HAND THAT MOCKED ANOTHER BAND THAT TRIED TO SOUND LIKE YOU IN THE 1990S?? :)

  96. j.... ....

    THIS IS HOW LIVE WENT WRONG :) WHEN GOOD ORIGINAL 90S ALTERNATIVE ROCK BANDS START TAKING ON A MORE "POP APPROACH" , YOU KNOW SOMETHINGS GOTTA GIVE , THE 21ST CENTURY HAS NOT BEEN KIND TO LIVE , OH MAN :)

  97. L.... ....

    @HugoElders Maybe. He's wearing enough eyeliner, to be able to stand-in for Nestor Carbonell.

  98. H.... ....

    @LuxuryJesper

    yeah i know, i bet he got paid for using this much

  99. L.... ....

    @HugoElders Yes, I'm well aware of that. But I highly doubt that they use as much, as Ed is wearing in this video.
