Getting By Lyrics

It's getting easier to change the past

But harder to influence the future

It's getting easier to know of a place

But somehow it's harder to get there

It's getting easier to see the stars

But harder to see the constellations

So while it's easier to find the facts

It's harder to remember

It's getting easier to have contact

But now harder not to need it

It's getting easier to create a foe

But harder to truly defeat it

It's getting easier to hear the truth

But harder to discern the lies

So while it's easier to know what's good

It's harder to repeat it

It's getting easier to say hello

But harder to tell someone goodbye

It's getting easier to see what we want

But harder to remain satisfied

It's getting easier to speak your mind

But harder to understand it

And though it's easier to work a job

It's harder to get by
