Lyrics

Easy Chair


He said this preacher man
told me I'm going to hell
he said, I said I'm already there
you got any news you'd like to tell?
And this preacher man he talked so loud
that his face turned red
he said do you know why
Jesus Christ raised the dead?
To give 'em one more chance
he said, that's right
to give 'em one new start
to get a grip
to get a life
to have a heart
Because some people down here
well you know they've got a half a brain
Their not happy 'less
their causin' someone else some pain

and he said, it makes me wanna weep
yes it does
it makes me wanna cry
yes it does
it makes me wanna curl up in a little ball and die

I said hold on
sit down here, sit down here
sit down in my easy chair
and tell me what is on your mind love
Cause I'm right here, I'm right here
I'm not going anywhere
and I just want to ease your mind, love.

He said sometimes
I get so upset
it's like everyday, we gotta play Russian roulette
Well theres kids the age of cheerleaders
that haven't even got their pom- poms wet
and they kill for spite
like you'd recite the alphabet
and theres people takin' ten day old
barely born little baby chimps
and studying at high impact
what exactly is an accident
It seems the wrong people run the world
it seems like maybe that's the accident
or maybe we're just all
part of one big tall experiment

So as soon as you've relaxed
and your feeling a little better
why don't you
get off your ass
and we could do something together
we could start a group
and write a lot of letters
and get one of those bumper stickers
that say ?Mean People Suck?.
