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 timesdeciding 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' anywhere



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
