Path of Least Resistance Lyrics

Get away--i'm warning you
While she undresses behind the door
Stop staring at her like a man who's
Never seen a whore before
She was sixteen when Mother left her at the station
Crying tears of silent indignation

Then he looked at her with those eyes
It was enough to make a man cry
She knew it in an instance
He took the Path of Least Resistance

Taught the art of surfacing
With 99-proof ink
At an early age she learned it doesn't matter
What she think
Lock the door--strip away her virtue
You're a bastard--all she wants to do is hurt you

Then you look at her with those eyes
It was enough to make a man cry
She knew it in an instance
Took the Path Of Least Resistance

What's a little girl to do?
She receives a visit in the dark
No imminent sign of danger
But the familiar hand has left its mark
Lock the door--lock the door!
Kind words turn dirty
"promise not to say a word"
Daddy please don't hurt me
