|
I'm in search of greener pastures |
|
Don't like my garden's what |
|
I saidAlthough |
|
I'm working harder than last year |
|
I'm still deep in the red |
|
I am rowing as hard as |
|
I canAnd they're selling me up a stream |
|
I'm always a one more step away |
|
From the American dream |
|
I got a chip on my shoulder |
|
About the size of a mental block |
|
And 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 lackBut it doesn't hurt to ask |
|
If I want to sail |
|
I need my life to be breezier |
|
I said "Please God or someoneMake it easier" |
|
I went to |
|
Sunday school every |
|
SundaySwallowed the bait and |
|
I got the hook |
|
When I needed something someday |
|
I would read the real good book |
|
And tell me, what does it take to get ahead? |
|
Times I know |
|
I'd sell my soul |
|
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 the lottery ticket |
|
Someone tell me what is the secret |
|
We're gettin' out of the thicket |
|
Give me more than just a sample |
|
I need a whole lot of, 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 lackBut it doesn't hurt to ask |
|
If I want to sail |
|
I need my life to be breezier |
|
I said "Please God or someoneMake it easier" |
|
I want to slide into the black |
