They may pat you on the back and shake your hand with bonhomie,
And tell you what a great guy you appear to be,
And the lights they shine and the smiles they cluster round like flies
And trade in self deceptions and such convincing lies,
But what happens when your free of all the company,
Do you glimpse maybe, a chink of sanity?
And you go out everyday and play the game of life,
And if your lucky bend the rules just a little wide,
Think one thing and act another, keep your head and lose your temper,
Listen to pretentions and the pseudo wise,
But what happens when your free of all tho company,
Do you glimpse maybe, a chink of sanity?
Ain't it nice to take it easy
Let attention wander freely
Cut the acting and let yourself be...
Set it free, oh, set it free, the part of you they never see.
So you go into the bar and join the merry throng
And they tell you why they think they're right and why the other's wrong
Your attention seems to wander and your head begins to ache,
And at these times you say to yourself that life is give and take.
But what happens when you're free of all the company,
Do you glimpse maybe, a chink of sanity?

Aint it nice to take it easy
