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' 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
