Better Off That Way

What is all the fuss about?
Saw the news today
What is there to talk about?
Words get in the way

See things from another side
See it in your day
Everyone wants their share
No-one wants to pay

It seems like the world's gone crazy overnight
I'm trying to do my best
But I just can't get it right
And I'm not the kind of boy
Who goes looking for a fight
So I'll say

Better off that way
Better off that way
Better off that way

What is all the noise about?
Still ringing in my ears
Forget about the ones that shout
It's the quiet ones I fear

And it seems like the world's been taken for a ride
And I'm trying to do my best
But I just can't get it right
And I'm not the kind of boy
Who goes running from a fight
So I'll say

Better off that way
Better off that way
Better off that way

Learn to love
Forget your hate
Communicate and celebrate
Try to learn from your mistakes
Anticipate, believe in me
Love the colour of your skin
Show the beauty from within
Hold your lover through the night
Hold your tongue before a fight

Learn to love
Forget to hate
I gonna learn
It's got a way
Anticipate, believe in me
It's better off that way
