Make It Easier Lyrics

I'm in search of greener pastures Don't like my garden's what I said Although I'm working harder than last year I'm still deep in the red
I am rowing as hard as I can And they're selling me up a stream I'm always a one more step away From the American dream
I got a chip on my shoulder About the size of a mental block And I've got someone on the telephone Trying to sell me a future in stock
Maybe I work too hard to be happy And I should practice letting go But it's hard not to rock the boat When you're sailing against the undertow
I want to slide into the black And wear the black mask I might not get what I lack But it doesn't hurt to ask
If I want to sail I need my life to be breezier I said "Please God or someone Make it easier"
I went to Sunday school every Sunday Swallowed the bait and I got the hook When I needed something someday I would read the real good book
And tell me, what does it take to get ahead? Times I know I'd sell my soul It looks like everybody else is flying And I'm crawling in the hole
Well, maybe if I open my own business Maybe if I buy the lottery ticket Someone tell me what is the secret We're gettin' out of the thicket
Give me more than just a sample I need a whole lot of, lot of glory My life become an example Of the American success story
I want to slide into the black And wear the black mask I might not get what I lack But it doesn't hurt to ask
If I want to sail I need my life to be breezier I said "Please God or someone Make it easier"
I want to slide into the black And wear the black mask I might not get what I lack But it doesn't hurt to ask
If I want to sail I need my life to be breezier I said "Please God or someone Make it easier Make it easier Make it easier"
