Easier That Way - Genesis, Ray Wilson, Stiltskin

The sun is shining through the trees, I’m gazing at the sky

Not long ago the winter freeze was taking its toll on me

And there are people all around me, struggling to make ends meet

While those who are responsible are living down on easy street

They didn’t cause it, we only said they did

They got it wrong and we have to pay for it

They sold a lie and then got away with it

Cause it’s easier that way

Easier that way

If there’s justice in the world I guess

It must be hard to see

We should focus on togetherness

It’s the only way to change things

It’s not easy staying faithful

To hold on to belief

When your whole damn world’s been stolen and you’re trying to catch the thief

They didn’t cause it we only said they did

They got it wrong and we have to pay for it

They sold a lie and then got away with it

Cause it’s easier that way, easier that way

Why in the world do our leaders turn away from it

Knowing full well that we all need a cure for it

Time and again the poor people pay for it

Cause its easier that way, easier that way

Ok let’s take a moment to reflect

They didn’t cause it, we only said they did

They got it wrong and we have to pay for it

They sold a lie and then got away with it

Why in the world do our leaders turn away from it

Knowing full well that we all need a cure for it

Time and again the poor people pay for it

Cause its easier that way

Easier that way

Could you turn it off for a second?
