Easy Out Lyrics

Easy Out lyrics

The black silhouette appears at my door
Dragging me out, I’m clawing
the floorboards.
Pretty soon I’m all heads up
For long bombs and
double-knotting my Keds up.

Fake left, go left, quarterback
sneak.
Try to wriggle out of it, he’ll knock you into next
week.
Curve ball, bean ball, spit ball, damn it all.
Sportsnut Alcatraz
digging out the back wall.
Don’t blame me I don’t wanna run a
buttonhook
I’m in the middle of a good book.

I quit!  
And
I don’t need to win
I don’t wanna be an easy out again.
Why
don’t you stay here and play with yourself? (repeat)

It’s
not that I’m weak or don’t like outside.
Sometimes I submit
and sometimes I hide out,
And it’s a lowly existence.
But when the
low survives it’s from persistence.

Fake left go long, quarterback
sneak
Try to wriggle it out of it, I’ll knock you into next
week.
Man on first, man on third, 
Nerd on second with the knees like a
bird
Don’t blame me I don’t wanna run a
buttonhook
I’m in the middle of a good book.

I quit!  
And
I don’t need to win
I don’t wanna be an easy out again.
Why
don’t you stay here and play with yourself?  (repeat)

Well
here’s a ball, there’s a yard.
Go chase it like a stupid St.
Bernard (repeat)
I hate a lotta hate a lotta games
I probably oughta
not-
I might’ve liked ‘em better but a stupid St.
Bernard
Made me this way, it’s OK.
