Lyrics:

Are you having a long day

Everyone you meet rubs you the wrong way

Dirty city streets smell like an ashtray

Morning bells are ringing in your ear

Is your brother on a church kick?

Seems like just a different kind of dope sick

Better off to teach a dog a card trick

Than try to have a point and make it clear

You should know compared

To people on a global scale

Our kind has had it relatively easy

And here with you there's always

Something to look forward to

My angry heart beats relatively easy

I lost a good friend

Christmas time when folks go off the deep end

His woman took the kids and he took Klonopin

Enough to kill a man of twice his size

Not for me to understand

Remember him when he was still a proud man?

A vandal's smile, a baseball in his right hand

Nothing but the blue sky in his eye

Still, compared to those

A stone's throw away from you

Our lives have both been relatively easy

Take a year and make a break

There ain't that much at stake

The answers could be relatively easy

Watch that lucky man walk to work again

He may not have a friend left in the world

See him walking home again to sleep alone

Or step into a shop to buy a postcard for a girl

I broke the law, boys

Shooting out the windows of my loft, boys

When they picked me up I made a big noise

Everything to blame except my mind

I should say I keep your picture with me everyday

The evenings, now, are relatively easy

Here with you there's always

Something to look forward to

My lonely heart beats relatively easy

My lonely heart beats relatively easy
