I guess the money's all dried up
'Cause when I drive to work, the
Road is all broken
And the cars are on blocks
And the old man at the bus stop, waitin' to get picked up to get dropped off
He'll work ten hours and then two more hours to get home
Lord, I need Easy Street
I can't watch one more of these houses sink into the ground
Lord, I need Easy Street
I won't watch one more good person get jerked around
Lord, I need (Easy) Easy Street
Well they don't care 'bout us
'Cause their jobs don't pay enough
And the factories are all rust
And the trucks caught fire
And if the whole thing's gone wrong, guess I'll pack my bag and get long gone
If I drive all night I can get to the ocean by dawn
'Cause Lord, I need Easy Street
I can't watch one more of these houses sink into the ground
Lord, I need Easy Street
I won't watch one more good person get jerked around
Lord, I need (Easy) Easy Street
The lady walkin' on Main Street
The guys hangin' on the side street
The kids runnin' down Fifth Street
They're all just like me
Lord, I need Easy Street
I can't watch one more of these houses sink into the ground
Lord, I need Easy Street
I won't watch one more good person gettin' put down
I need Easy Street
I need Easy Street
Easy Street
Easy Street
