Lyrics Easier That Way - Genesis, Ray Wilson, Stiltskin

Easier That Way

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?
