Better Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Set up the mission, unfurl the flag
It's time to lay roots down,
take my head out of the bag
Make me a baby, take me a wife
With these things, maybe I'll be alright
(chorus)
There's a better way
I know there's a better way
When I need it, and I need it for sure everyday
Fill up the museum, an island in the sun
More things that I don't need just pick me up
Head for the waterfall, don't drown in the juice
Make the right noises maybe I'll be alright
How come it's so hard to climb
And so easy to slide?
How come it's so easy to fly
And so hard to thrive?
(chorus)
It's so much harder much harder to try
It's easier to lie, to turn a blind eye
(chorus 2x)
Unfurl the flag
Got my head out of the bag
I know it makes for a better day
