I'm In Search Of Greener Pastures, Don't Like My
Garden's What I Said, Although I'm Working Harder Than
Last Year, I'm Still Deep In The Red, I Am Rowing As Hard
As I Can, And They're Selling Me Up A Stream, I'm Always
One More Step Away From The American Dream. I Got A
Chip On My Shoulder About The Size Of A Mental Block,
I've Got Someone On The Telephone Trying To Sell Me A
Future In Stock, Maybe I Work Too Hard To Be Happy,
And I Should Practice Letting Go, But It's Hard Not To
Rock The Boat When You're Sailing Against The
Undertow.
Chorus: I Want To Slide Into The Black And Wear The
Black Mask, I Might Not Get What I Lack, But It
Doesn't Hurt To Ask If I Want To Sail, I Need My
Life To Be Breezier I Said, Please, God, Or
Someone, Make It Easier
I Went To Sunday School Every Sunday Swallowed The
Bait And I Got The Hook And When I Needed Something
Someday I Would Read The Good Book. Tell Me, What
Does It Take To Get Ahead? Sometimes I Know I'd Sell
My Soul When It Looks Like Everybody Else Is Flying,
And I'm Crawling In The Hole Maybe If I Open My Own
Business, Maybe If I Buy A Lottery Ticket, Someone
Tell Me What Is The Secret To Getting Out Of The Thicket?
Give Me More Than Just A Sample, I Need A Whole Lot Of
Glory Then My Life Become An Example Of The American
Success Story.
Chorus:
