La Resistance

I got excellent intentions

And unbeatable excuses

And I'm moderate in vices

With the usual abuses

I got entertaining stories

And a cheerful disposition

And fanatical devotion

To a kamikaze mission

And you can take your common sense

And head it out the door

If you have no confidence

In what I'm fighting for

'Cause I love you, baby

I just love me so much more

And so you see, my vanity comes through for me

More often than you do for me

And in the end I'll choose the path of most resistance

And you'll say, "It doesn't have to be this way"

And try and pull me back in play

And rue the day you ever learned of my existence

I got well-examined motives

And a pre-ordained direction

I'm utopian by preference

But I'll settle for perfection

I got friends of every flavor

Evangelical and shifty

And if I can crack this open

I'm taking everybody with me

And you can take your precedents

And head 'em out the door

'Cause this ain't like anything

That's ever come before

And I love you, baby

I just love me so much more
