the "easy" way (tune analysis)

Know it sounds funny
But I just cant stand the pain
Girl Im leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know Ive done all I can
You see I begged, stole
And I borrowed
Ooh, thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Why in the world
Would anyboddy put chains on me?
Ive paid my dues to make it
Everbody wants me to be
What they want me to be
Im not happy when I try to fake it!
No!
Ooh,thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
I wanna be high, so high
I wanna be free to know
The things I do are right
I wanna be free

Just me, babe!
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Thats why Im easy
Im easy like sunday morning
Because Im easy
Easy like sunday morning
Because Im easy
Easy like sunday morning



i love this tune and i especially love the line "i want to be free to know the things i do are right". its the hideous nature of man at its lowest.

essentially the tune asks...
why i cant i do just whatever the F@#k i want to do? why must people constrain me in any way shape or form? and further, when i do whatever the F@#k i want to do, i want to feel that what im doing is right, and good. ok? is that too much to ask?


i think faith no more's gets it right in their rendition. halfway through lionel's version he lets out this sexy crooning groan which for FNM becomes a groan of utter disgust, and this of course is actually way more appropriate to the content of the tune.

You seem to WAY over analyze things. Can't you just enjoy the tune and be done with it?
