Make It Easier - 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
