Like a fire burning in the kitchen sink
Like a choir that can't agree on what to sing
Like a wild raging river that just can't find the will
You change your mind a thousand times, deciding to stand still

Better to live than to explain
Better to write than to have read
Better to cope than to complain
Better in your hands that in your head
Easier done that said

Like a dying flower that just don't give a damn
Like a higher power nobody cares to understand
Like a horse on a merry-go-round spinnin' at a county fair
Just running 'round in circles not gettin' nywhere

Better to guide than criticize
Better to lead than to be led
Better to act than to analyze
Better in your hands than in your head
Easier done than said

Like a tree that doesn't grow 'cause it's afraid of the sky
Like a lamp that doesn't glow and doesn't wonder why
Like a cigarette that's burnin' on the side of the road
A little less concern and no telling where you go

Better to live than to explain
Better to write than to have read
Better to cope than to complain
Better in your hands than in your head
Easier done than said
