lyrics:

Verse 1:
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

Verse 2:
fill up the museum , an island in the sun
more things that i don't need just pick me up
jead for the waterfall, don't drown in the juice
make the right noises maybe i'll be alright

Break:
how come it's so hard to climb
and so easy to slide?
how come it's easy to fly
and so hard to thrive?

Chorus:
there's a better way
there must be a better way
when i need it, and i need it for sure everyday

Break:
it's so much harder much harder to try
it's easier to lie, to turn a blind eye

Chorus:
but now
ther's a better way, i know that there's a better way
when i need it, and i need it for sure everyday
there's a better way it makes for a better day
when we need it, we need it
we need it for sure, everyday

Verse:
unfurl the flag
got my head out of the bag
i know it makes for a better day
