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
