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 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 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 I believe in peace, love and unity (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 (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 (Better than this, this, this...) The biggest crimes are being made behind closed doors In the minds of the people that are making the laws They're committing 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 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 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
