Easy
Navigating Life's Choices: The Unexplored Paths in Brass Camel's 'Easy'
Lyrics
I could have been a gambling man
I contemplated taking risks, perhaps in a gambling context.
If I had found the right cards to play
If I had the right circumstances or opportunities.
To make the wheel spin another day
To continue facing life's challenges and uncertainties.
It could have been that Easy
Success might have come effortlessly.
Might have been a diplomat
I could have been a skilled negotiator.
Putting forth propositions with tact
Suggesting ideas diplomatically.
If not for the poise I lacked
If not for my lack of composure.
To make them think they need me
To make others realize they require my presence.
Just to think what might have been
Reflecting on missed opportunities.
Another fixture on the scene,
Being a regular presence in a particular environment.
An empty-headed philistine
A person lacking intellectual depth.
If only it had been easy
If only success had come easily.
Could have been a real bad man
I could have been a villainous character.
A calculating evil doer
A calculating wrongdoer.
A night-stalking saboteur
A secretive, night-stalking saboteur.
No one would even see me
No one would have noticed my actions.
Had I been a rhapsodist
If I were a poet or musician.
I might have put the right words to a score
Could have expressed emotions eloquently.
To pass on tales of love and war
Telling stories of love and war through my art.
Had I thought you'd all believe me
If I believed others would trust my words.
Just to think what might have been
Reflecting on missed opportunities again.
Another cog in the machine
A small, unimportant part of a larger system.
But a no-one with a dream
A person with dreams but unrecognized.
If only it had been easy
If only success had come easily.
If only it had been easy
If only success had been easily attainable.
