INDIGO GIRLS - make it easier lyrics

rate me

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
