Birch Book - Easy to Live

You knew it was bad in October
Thought you had nowhere else to go
Said in November you're leaving
Got to get on your right track now

Said you'd be saving your money
And to make good on some old debt
Said in some weeks you'd be ready
Before twenty-one days of the

Why, oh why is it easy to live their life
How, oh how do you stay when you want to go

Spent your money for booze on the weekend
To make bearable the time
Floating along in Limbo
I'm sure it's easier without a smile

Worried about all them people
Then that would be a let-down
Losing your life to the leeches
When you're ought to be leaving town

Why, oh why is it easy to live their life
How, oh how do you stay when you want to go

You said it would be February
You'd be free before Valentine's
That's so much more to get ready

Like you might have thought last four
But the end of next month is a farce
It never really comes

You say it's hard to think it out clear
Just don't know what to do
As always there's something there to fear
And as always it's up to you

There's always an excuse or other
For what never gets done
So if it's not worth the bother
I suppose I'm better off alone

Why, oh why is it easy to live their life
How, oh how do you stay when you want to go
Why, oh why is it easy to live their life
How, oh how do you stay when you want to go
