Got to Be a Better Way

Seething in his world

Of carbohydrates and TV

If it bit him on the ass

He wouldn’t know empathy

Blame is his solution for

Every problem in the world

“If you think like I do

Then I’ll be there for you”

He says “I pulled myself up

By my bootstraps all my life

So don’t you ask me to

Help somebody else’s kids

Someone else’s wife”

His brain canals are crawling

With stuff he heard somewhere

He can’t tell truth from anger

And nothing’s fair

That love beneath your boots

Might be your own

It’s hard to even tell in your comfort zone

There’s got to be a better way

There’s got to be a better way

That love beneath your boots

Might be your own

So careful what you crush

When you feel alone

There’s got to be a better way

There’s got to be a better way

He wants what he can’t have

So bad he can taste it

He say gimme

He say gimme

He say is that all? Gimme some more

When he comes down that ego mountain

The scene’ll be pretty grim

Seven billion sad sad faces

Staring up at him

That love beneath your boots

Might be your own

It’s hard to even tell in your comfort zone

There’s got to be a better way

There’s got to be a better way

That love beneath your boots

Might be your own

So careful what you crush

When you feel alone

There’s got to be a better way

There’s got to be a better way

He’s not the only one

Breaking this land in two

It could be me

It might be you

That love beneath your boots

Might be your own

It’s hard to even tell in your comfort zone

There’s got to be a better way

There’s got to be a better way

That love beneath your boots

Might be your own

So careful what you crush

When you feel alone

There’s got to be a better way

There’s got to be a better way

That love beneath your boots

Might be your own

You know I’d rather run away

You know I’d rather run away

That love beneath your boots

Might be your own

There’s got to be a better way

There’s got to be a better way
