lyrics

Fight and fuss, fuss and fight.
Carrying on like it's a Saturday night.
But it's a Tuesday morning, and I'm walking out the door.
Got thirty two hours to make ends meet.
No golden cuffs, just the American dream.
No matter what we've got, we'll always need a little more.

What if it was easy?
What if we could make it without hardly tryin'?
What if the space we lived in everyday was leveled by our own minds?
What if the fights were only temporary?
And the world we create was just a little less scary.
Than the one we live in or the one we see on tv?
What if it was easy?

Now I'm ivin' everyday in a bullshit storm.
I'm listenin' more and more, so you can be forewarned.
I know you've got an answer, but you know it's only your own.
Life's about more than just gettin' by.
And all we'll ever have is hard we try.
So let's try something different before we get to movin' on

What if it was easy?
What if we could make it without hardly tryin'?
What if the space we lived in everyday was leveled by our own minds?
What if the fights were only temporary?
And the world we create was just a little less scary.
Than the one we live in or the one we see on tv?
What if it was easy?

Now I'll go out drinking with my buddies.
You'll stay in with your friends.
No matter when we come together, we're alone in the end.
And I'll resent the resentment.
Hell, you'll resent mine too.
We both get hurt for tryin', it's just something that we do.

But what if it was easy?
What if we could make it without hardly tryin'?
What if the space we lived in everyday was leveled by our own minds?
What if the fights were only temporary?
And the world we create was just a little less scary.
Than the one we live in or the one we see on tv?
What if it was easy?
