Relatively Easy

Lyrics

Are you having a long day? Everyone you meet rubs you the wrong way Dirty city streets smell like an ashtray Morning bells are ringing in your ear Is your brother on a church kick? Seems like just a different kind of dope sick Better off to teach a dog a card trick Than try to have a point and make it clear You should know Compared to people on a global scale Our kind has had it relatively easy And here with you There's always something to look forward to My angry heart beats relatively easy I lost a good friend Christmastime when folks go off the deep end His woman took the kids and he took Klonopin Enough to kill a man of twice his size Not for me to understand Remember him when he was still a proud man? A vandal's smile, a baseball in his right hand Nothing but the blue sky in his eye Still, compared to those A stone's throw away from you Our lives have both been relatively easy Take a year and make a break There ain't that much at stake The answers could be relatively easy Watch that lucky man walk to work again He may not have a friend left in the world See him walking home again to sleep alone I step into a shop to buy a postcard for a girl I broke the law, boys Shooting out the windows of my loft, boys When they picked me up, I made a big noise Everything to blame except my mind And I should say I keep your picture with me every day The evenings, now, are relatively easy Here with you There's always something to look forward to My lonely heart beats relatively easy My lonely heart beats relatively easy
