Better Than This

Every day of my life i run a race against time

because the state of the world is in the state of my mind

without peace in mind there's no peace at all

it takes more than a wall to make the barriers fall

I can't live as i learn when i'm still learning to live

how can i give what i got if i can't even forgive

but i won't sell my my soul for that eternal bliss

because i know that it's got to get better than this

Every day is a fight against restrictions and rules

and every day is a fight against the white collar fools

but i'm as free from sin as you're ever going to be

so don't you wave your pathetic bible book at me

you're so sad it makes me sick how many times will it take

before you chiggidycheck yourself and learn from past mistakes

so don't you try to persuade me with your Judas kiss

because i know that it's got to get better than this

Better than this, better than this I know that it's got to get better than this

Better than this, better than this I know that it's got to get better than this

Better than this, better than this I know that it's got to get better than this

Better than, better than, better than this I know that it's got to get better than this

Every day all the time in the back of my mind

i keep on myself how we can be so blind

do we care are we aware of the fatal fact

that the world is a mess and that it's time to react

we can't keep looking back we can't live in the past

we've got to get ourselves together cos' were going down fast

I'll do whatever it takes except raise my fist

because i know that it's got to get better than this

Chorus

I believe in peace love and unity

and i Believe in one big community

I believe in the human good will

and i believe that nobody has the right to kill

we're all born with the same abilities

but we don't all get the same possibilities

this is a life that's to good to miss

and i know that it's got to get better than this

The biggest crimes are being made behind closed doors

in the minds of the people that are making the laws

they're commiting the crimes without doing the time

so how do we know where we're supposed to draw the line

I've got no fucking respect for all the people that believe

that any way can be good if you can get what you need

It's a typical political pool of piss

and i know that it's got to get better than this

Chorus
