Troublizing Songtext
von Ric Ocasek

If it was easy you would never try
You could be helpless in the wink of an eye
It could be trouble-ising
It could be tantalising
You don′t know which your way
It's tattle-tale grey
And you′re backing away

What if you never took along?
What if you never could belong?


Got your hopes on a silver tray
Got dreams on a ricochet
Oh
It leaves you in distress
Oh
Which button do you press?

If it was easy you would never try
It's all in shambles but you never say die
It could be trouble-ising
It could be tantalising
You don't know which your way
Oh
It leaves you in distress
Oh
Which button do you press?

What if you never made the switch?
What if you never felt the itch?
What if you never found the piece?
Kept living on a time release
