All the time I work myself to death
Just to find I need a little rest
I hope I can change before it shows

Pushin' hard so I can free myself
And I've tried to live for someone else
'Til the emperor lost his clothes

I'm gonna make my move
Don't turn around
And not a moment too soon
And it's alright

Taking the easy way out
Taking the easy way out

'Cause it's alright

Taking the easy way out
Taking the easy way out

Even though the road ahead is long
You can never really go wrong
When you've made up your own song

It's alright to break away from the race
Take a breath and go at your own pace
'Cause they'll still be running anyway

I'm gonna make my move
Don't turn around
And not a moment too soon
'Cause it's alright

Taking the easy way out
Taking the easy way out

'Cause it's alright

Taking the easy way out
Taking the easy way out

Now it'll all work out fine
If you let yourself off the hook
Every once in a while
And breaking your will to live each day
It'll make you lose your mind
And it's alright

Taking the easy way out
Taking the easy way out

Yes it's alright

Taking the easy way out
Taking the easy way out
