[Verse 1]
It's easier to tell a lie than it is to tell the truth
It's easier to kill a fly than it is to turn it loose
It's easier to criticize somebody else
Than to see yourself

[Verse 2]
It's easier to give a sigh and be like all the rest
Who stand around and crucify you while you do your best
It's easier to see the books upon the shelf
Than to see yourself

[Bridge]
It's easier to hurt someone and make them cry
Than it is to dry their eyes
I got tired of fooling round with other people's lies
Rather I'd find someone that's true

[Verse 3]
It's easier to say you won't than it is to feel you can
It's easier to drag your feet than it is to be a man
It's easier to look at someone else's wealth
Than to see yourself, ooh ooh
To see yourself

[Outro]
It's easier to see the books upon the shelf
Than to see yourself, ooh ooh
It's easier to criticize somebody else
Than to see yourself
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
