Easy Street

I guess the money's all dried up

'Cause when I drive to work the

Road is all broken and the cars are on blocks

And the old man at the bus stop

Waitin' to get picked up to get dropped off

He'll work ten hours and then two 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 their jobs don't pay enough

And the factories are all rust and the trucks 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 walkin' on Main Street

The guys hangin' on the side street

The kids runnin' down Fifth 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

I need Easy Street

I need Easy Street

Easy Street

Easy Street
