THE WAY OUT

is through the door

if I know nothing else

of that I'm sure...

but,



if I was a snake

I could hit the ground and slither

if I was a lie

I could start to wither



if I was a babe

I'd just show my face

if I was the truth

I could plead my case



if I was rich

I could grease a palm

if I was the mob

I could cause some harm



if I was a bird

I could take to the sky

if I was a philosopher

I could wonder why?



If I was a lawyer

I could sue

if I was a truck

I could drive right through



if I was a foe

I could vow revenge

if I was a camera

I could just change my lens



if I was a gun

I could pull the trigger

if I was a bomb

I could make the doorway bigger



if I was a mask

I could hide my fear

if I lacked ambition

I just might not care



if I was a debutante

I could demand to pass

if I owned a bank

I could give you cash



if I was a cop

I could blow the whistle

if I was the militia

I could launch a missile



if I was the commander in chief

I could push the button

if I was a bum in the street

I could just do nuttin'

but,



I'm just a guy

and nothing more

and the only way out

is THROUGH THE DOOR!
