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 [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 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 [Chorus: x2] Make it easier Make it easier
