The Great Grandfathers - Easy Living

I don't fear your movements in the slightest so we better keep on walking
None of us agree, I guess it’s best that you keep on talking
Have it your way, Juli, but there are spirits in the attic
And they speak more than you do but with just a little bit of substance
Children dream real big so that they can grow into them
Some of them are hand-me-downs, kids want nothing to do with them
These places don't exist, they just measure them in their minds
And it takes one to realize some are easier to find
Thanks so much
Easy living and you're so admired and everything you do comes naturally
It’s a living hell if you can’t excel, your folks are at fault obviously
Hello woman, in your womb for three quarters of a year
Doesn't take a Dylan to know you had your fears
What would you have done if your baby was born strange?
But Jesus loves his little heart-breaks with features unexplained
It's time you talk to me, no more God awful glares
You'd like to watch our future burn, matches come in pairs
I come to you in bloom bless the ashes on my name
Something’s drumming up the garden, where the truth remains in spades
Thanks so much
Easy living and you're so admired and everything you do comes naturally
It’s a living hell if you can’t excel, your folks are at fault obviously
The newly married's on a flight test with some child-like behavior
Must have been a doozy, with that 12-hour labor
What a beautiful couple with a newborn in their arms
Clearly, someone beat that child with the fabled stick of charm
I can't tell you what this means to me
That it makes me want to cry
It’s the thought of starting over
Welcomes a watery eye
I appreciate this, I still can't tell you what it means
You're asking for forgiveness, but nothing is the way it seems
I was selfish and disgraceful, I was violent, often insolent, I was an angry child tyrant,
But your presence countered it.
Thank you so much
Easy living and you're so admired and everything you do comes naturally
It’s a living hell if you can’t excel, your folks are at fault obviously
Easy living and you're so admired and everything you do comes naturally
It’s a living hell if you can’t excel, your folks are at fault obviously
Everyone I know is in love or prison
Lucky for me, I've been sentenced "life with love and no parole"
When I was charged, pleading guilty wasn't my decision.
Lucky for me, my upbringing was beyond my control
And if you’re hard on yourself life is easy,
If you’re easy on yourself lives so very hard
