Make It Easier - Lyrics - Indigo Girls

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
