Make it Easier---- -- ------i'm in search of greener pastures, don't like mygarden's what i said, although i'm working harder thanlast year, i'm still deep in the red, i am rowing as hardas i can, and they're selling me up a stream, i'm alwaysone more step away from the american dream. i got achip on my shoulder about the size of a mental block,i've got someone on the telephone trying to sell me afuture in stock, maybe i work too hard to be happy,and i should practice letting go, but it's hard not torock the boat when you're sailing against theundertow.chorus: 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 easieri went to sunday school every sunday swallowed thebait and i got the hook and when i needed somethingsomeday i would read the good book. tell me, whatdoes it take to get ahead? sometimes i know i'd sellmy soul when it looks like everybody else is flying,and i'm crawling in the hole maybe if i open my ownbusiness, maybe if i buy a lottery ticket, someonetell me what is the secret to getting out of the thicket?give me more than just a sample, i need a whole lot ofglory then my life become an example of the americansuccess story.chorus:
