it's easier

it's easier to see others than to look at yourself
well, that goes both ways *sshole, don't it?
turns out jailers are prisoners too (listen)
so why end by telling me what to do?

it's easier to tell a lost soul what to do
because they look up and down, left and right
in the end they end up checking you too

but it is not easier to take a look at yourself
a good hard look - bet it's not so easy
but i would not presume to tell you what to do
too easy, dearie, much too easy to do.

we're all "lost souls". and that's forever. the longing, the searching.

i think whenever someone's telling us what to do, it's because they're really telling themselves.

'cause they just as lost as the rest of us.

n'est-ce pas?
