Easier to Do

Rock and roll is gonna steal your soul
 The good time's gonna die
 Don't go looking for that moment if you didn't say goodbye
 All those faces in the crowd
 They're so proud of you
 God, I wish they were
 But no one bails 'cause a cautionary tale thinks you might get burned
 You tell me that it's easier to say than trying to live that way
 Sometimes it's easier to do than trying to talk to you
 A newer voice like a hundred choir boys
 He went looking for a sound
 I got the word he hit a note nobody'd ever heard
 Died before he hit the ground
 All those faces in the crowd
 They're so proud of him
 God, I wish they were
 But no one bails 'cause a cautionary tale thinks you might get burned
 You tell me that it's easier to say than trying to live that way
 Sometimes it's easier to do than trying to talk to you
 You tell me you're so lucky with the cards
 You never get the hearts
 Sometimes it's better when you pray than when you get your way
