Make It Easier

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 one more step away
From the american dream

I got a chip on my shoulder
About the size of a mental block
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 good book
Tell me what does it take to get ahead
Sometimes i know i'd sell my soul
When 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 a lottery ticket
Someone tell me what is the secret
To getting out of the thicket
Give me more than just a sample
I need a whole 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
