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 redI 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 dreamI 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 stockMaybe 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 undertowI want to slide into the black

And wear the black mask

I might not get what I lack

But it doesn't hurt to askIf 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 bookAnd 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 holeWell, 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 thicketGive me more than just a sample

I need a whole lot of, lot of glory

My life become an example

Of the American success storyI want to slide into the black

And wear the black mask

I might not get what I lack

But it doesn't hurt to askIf 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 askIf 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"
