From the recording Burning Through the Fields
Lyrics
Easy Street
by Craig Hyatt
I’ve watched a million people lie
Now I want to do the same
Life would be such a dream
If we’d all just look away
Taking advantage of the disadvantaged
Isn’t crooked if it’s understood
How can you blame a man
If the world told him he should
Living on Easy Street
You can have I too
I saw it on a social feed
So you know it must be true
Living on Easy Street
Do what you’ve got to do
Pay the price at the crossroads
What’s the cost to you
Flip the coin and tails will see
How the heads live underneath
Cold and dirty against the ground
Don’t pick it up, just let it be
You can’t lie, You can’t lie
You thought of it too
Living on Easy Street
You can have I too
I saw it on a social feed
So you know it must be true
Living on Easy Street
Do what you’ve got to do
Pay the price at the crossroads
What’s the cost to you
