lyrics

I'd like to help but I've got to worry about myself
Taking the easy way out again!
It's not my fault. The problem belongs to someone else
Taking the easy way out again!
I've played my part. It's someone else's turn
Taking the easy way out again!
Don't show me the truth. It only makes my eyes burn
Taking the easy way out again!

When conflict is avoided, principles fall void
We only serve to justify ourselves
As isolated islands we continue abstinence from action
In attempt to justify ourselves

I've got to fight. Macho stance I must defend
Taking the easy way out again!
Can't let them know I'm scared. I've got to pretend
Taking the easy way out again!
Can't speak out. My ignorance will show
Taking the easy way out again!
I can't be hurt by what you don't know
Taking the easy way out again!

When conflict is avoided, principles fall void
We only serve to justify ourselves
When we accept others pain, to uncontrolled reason we throw our blame
We only serve to justify ourselves

Disengaged with a cynical pride the way that we were taught
Quite satisfied, fully denied, we sit back and watch
And I don't want to live my life like that
I don't want to life a life like that
