Ray Wilson - Easier That Way lyrics

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?
