Lyrics

I'm in search of greener pastures
Don't like my gardens, Lord 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
Always one more step away from the American dream
I got a chip on my shoulder
'Bout the size of a mental block
But I 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 wanna slide into the black and wear the black mask
Might not get what I lack but it doesn't hurt to ask
If I wanna 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
There are times I know I'd sell my soul
Looks like everybody else is flying
And I'm crawling in the hole
Maybe if I open my own business
Maybe if I buy the lottery ticket
Someone tell me, what is the secret
Of 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 wanna slide into the black and wear the black mask
Might not get what I lack but it doesn't hurt to ask
If I wanna sail, I need my life to be breezier
I said please God or someone make it easier
I wanna slide into the black and wear the black mask
Might not get what I lack but it doesn't hurt to ask
If I wanna sail, I need my life to be breezier
I said please God or someone make it easier
Make it easier
Make it easier
