Better Than That

Once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?

It's inside of me and it's inside of you

Addicted to the sickness it's an actual fact

All I know is I hope that we're better than that

All I know is I hope that we're better than that



We try to lend a hand to help our fellow man

We cooperate enough to stay alive

But what is said and done

It's all about number oneAnd devotion to the trinity to me, myself, and I



Once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?

It's inside of me and it's inside of you

Addicted to the sickness it's an actual fact

All I know is I hope that we're better than that



I remember once this guy

Made my girl cry

So I went to get a hammer to break his knees

Nothing came of it

Was it just macho bullshit

Or expression of the symptoms of the naked ape's disease?



And the nightmare keeps repeating

While our conciences are sleeping

Untroubled and unclean

This cool girl that I know went and had a baby

An amazing leap of faith and when I see them

She lets me hold her kid awhile

And I watch the baby smile

I thought I'd outgrown hope

But what I see there gives me reason



Once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?

It's inside of me and it's indide of you

Addicted to the sickness its an actual fact

All I know is I hope that we're better than that

All I know is I hope that we're better than that

Oh we're better than that

Oh we're better than that

All I know is I hope that we're better than that
