Lyrics
The Easy Way Out
You were a victim, a rebel without cause
In search of the glory, you fought in all the wars
Were you a hero, completing your tours
Was your ego inflated when you invaded foreign shores?
Now you’re a loser, you couldn’t win any more
You’ve got nothing left worth holding on for
You took the easy way out
You took the long kiss goodnight
You wasted what you had
You saw life as a fight
You couldn’t live for the future
You couldn’t live for the now
You searched for away
But you couldn’t see how
Were you a healer, or a settler of scores
A keeper of keys to unlock all of the doors
A believer, a preacher of a sort
But you never did learn from the lessons you taught
Now you’re just a number, another straightforward case
For all that you were, no-one remembers your face
You took the easy way out
You took the long kiss goodnight
You wasted what you had
You saw life as a fight
You couldn’t live for the future
You couldn’t live for the now
You searched for away
But you couldn’t see how
You took the easy way out
You took the long kiss goodnight
You took the easy way out
