Path of Least Resistance

Insist on taking the path of least resistance

Less hurdles to jump at first with less consistency

It’s fine, as long as you go and roll with all the punches

With your rubber-ball-thick-skinned-novocain-impervious self

You’re telling yourself that it’s not so bad...

You sweet, sweet fool

You know, you could have it all

But you keep it inside till you feel the tremors way down inside your blood and bones

You sweet, sweet fool

You so could have had it all

But you’re determined to walk down your path of least resistance

Well, the choice is your own

Watch out: this time the bite is worse than the bark is

And the sun can be just as blinding as the darkness is

So apt to make the mountain now into a molehill

While you wish and hope, dream on, thinking that you’re safe on your shelf

Keep telling yourself that it’s not that bad...

But it’s so damn sad

You sweet, sweet fool

You know, you could have it all

But you keep it inside till you feel the tremors way down inside your blood and bones

You sweet, sweet fool

You so could have had it all

But you’re determined to walk down your path of least resistance

Well, the choice is your own

Gloss over the cracks till the next earthquake comes

Shaking you down to the San Andreas through your heart

Run, you wild mustang, while you’re tethered to your pole

And eat the poisoned apples that the wicked witch has fed your soul
