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
