Make It Easier Lyrics - Strange Fire - 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 

Photos 

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
