Down and out and overhead
When nothing seems that way
I'm taking the easy way out
But it's never been that easy to me

But everything's worth a try
I declare everything's worth a shot

We're down on our heels again
Pulled around by so many chains
Trying to get by...
I'm taking the obvious way
But sometimes lose my way
Simple mistakes

Coming down then
Bring it all to life again
Sometimes we can
Own our own in awe again
Taking the easy way out

We count the days and mend our ways
Trying to work out who's to blame
But there's no-one here
That's guilty of the charge
So I'm taking the only way out
'Cause I've seen another one
Yeah I'm taking the easy way out...

So the road ahead is long
And the road ahead is wrong

So I'm taking the easy way out
Though I've never been that way before
Taking the easy way out

And the road ahead is long
And winding down the valley

I'm taking the easy way out...
