Lyrics
What's right or what's better?
Music and Lyrics Larry Tarof ©2007

Verse:
You hardly notice you're across the line
You say you'll pull yourself back
But when the grass is really greener
Can you ever return through the crack?
Chorus:
Is it better to do what is right
Or is it all right to do what works better
Verse:
Saints and sinners, all have a path
The pursuit of pleasure and avoiding wrath
You do what you do for the sake of a name
Is it different self-interest, or is it the same?
Chorus
Bridge:
Sometimes it's easier to please
Than to take a stand or to disagree
Which way do you go if unsure of the direction
And who can know if you need a course correction
Chorus
