Better Than This - Clawfinger

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
