Lyrics
The Path of Least Resistance
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Faced with the choice
What would you say?
The path of least resistance
It seems the only way
But can we look a little further?
Too little far I think
Self-belief's the answer
And not another drink
The safe method, the only way
You rationalise your course
Stay part of the crowd
And never find the source
Feel wanted, feel numb
Just stay as you are
The truth is - comfort kills
And you don't need that car
So sad, the early grave
When all the fun's for free
Start digging the early grave
And keep it warm for me
Faced with the choice
What would you say?
The path of least resistance
It seems the only way
But let's look a little further
Too little far, I think
Self-belief's the answer
And not another drink
The safe method, the only way
You rationalise your course
Stay a part of the crowd
And never find the source
Feel wanted, feel numb
Just stay as you are
The truth is, comfort kills
And you don't need that car
