I guess the money’s all dried up
Cause when I drive to work the
Road is all broke up
And the cars are on blocks
And the old man at the bus stop
Waiting to get picked up to get dropped off
He’ll work 10 hours
And then 2 more hours to get home
Lord, I need easy street
I can’t watch one more of these houses
Sink into the ground
Lord I need easy street
I won’t watch one more good person
Get jerked around
Lord, I need easy street

Well they don’t care about us
Cause the jobs don’t pay enough
And the factories are all rust
And the church caught fire
And if the whole thing’s gone wrong
Guess I’ll pack my bag and get long gone
If I drive all night I can get to the ocean by dawn
‘cause

Lord, I need easy street
I can’t watch one more of these houses
Sink into the ground
Lord I need easy street
I won’t watch one more good person
Get jerked around
Lord, I need easy street

The lady walking on main street
The guys hanging on the side street
The kids running down 5th street
They’re all just like me

Lord, I need easy street
I can’t watch one more of these houses
Sink into the ground
Lord I need easy street
I won’t watch one more good person
Gettin’ put down
Lord, I need easy street
