lyrics

It’s better outside this chamber
Where alone I submit to my lies
It’s better out there on the commons
Where a fool can defer to the wise

It’s better outside this chamber
Where a like-minded fool takes my word
It’s better out there in the pasture
Where the cows even know we’re absurd

It’s better outside this chamber
Where the evidence died on the floor
It’s better out there at the schoolhouse
Where a two and a two become four

It’s better outside this chamber
Where my voice and I tend to agree
It’s better out there in the canyon
Where the echoes can set themselves free

It’s better outside this chamber
Where the popcorn collides with the lid
It’s better out there with the LEGO
Where the father can learn from the kid

It’s better outside this chamber
Where my bingo balls bounce all about
It’s better out there on the asphalt
Where the B and IN GO just got out

It’s better outside this chamber
Where reflections are born of the state
It’s better out there at the exit
Where no keeper is manning the gate

It’s better outside this chamber
Where my voice and I tend to agree
It’s better out there on the water
Where the echoes can set themselves free
