Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] 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 [Verse 3] I lost a good friend Christmastime when folks go off the deep end His woman took the kids, he took Klonopin Enough to kill a man of twice his size [Verse 4] Not for me to understand I remember him when he was still a proud man With a vandal's smile, a baseball in his right hand And nothing but the blue sky in his eye [Refrain] And 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 [Verse 5] 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, buy a postcard for a girl [Verse 6] And I broke the law, boys Shooting out the windows of my loft, boys When they picked me up, I made a big noise I had everything to blame except my mind [Refrain] But I should say I keep your picture with me every day The evenings, now, are relatively easy And here with you, there's always something to look forward to My angry heart beats relatively easy [Outro] My lonely heart beats relatively easy [Interlude] Sadler Vaden, Jimbo Hart Chad Gamble, Derry deBorja, thank y'all, thank y'all
