Path of Least
Most people are like electricity,
they prefer to travel down the path of least resistance
They don't want to get involved too much,
they like to be bystanders, sitting on the fence
They don't really want things too hard,
don't wanna struggle like a salmon goin' upstream
Just make it easy for their decision making,
would like to get from here to there on a transporter beam
Get on that old beaten trail,
go down that worn out wide path
It's the easiest way to get to hell,
walking backwards will incur God's wrath
Beware: the devil's gonna wanna trick you
Beware: Satan's gonna be real persistent
Beware: the Trickster's gonna lie to you,
to lead you down the path of least resistance
Beam 'em up on that old beaten trail,
beam 'em down that worn out wide path
It's the easiest way to get to hell,
oh you will instantly incur God's wrath
Most people don't like to feel electricity,
it jumps on you lightning fast
And if you're not a quick thinker,
you will become a tale of the past
I was raised up the old fashioned way,
do what you're told, then you'll have your say
Be obedient, follow God's sacred rules;
move down that shining path, it's up to you to choose
Get off that old beaten trail,
don't go down that worn out wide path
Take a straight narrow road to heaven,
walk forward and one day you'll see God laugh
Beware: the devil's gonna wanna own you
Beware: get you to do what he wants you to
Beware: Satan's lurking in the distance,
so resist taking the path of least resistance
