Better Than That

[Chorus]
Once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?
It's inside of me and its inside of you
Addicted to the sickness it's an actual fact
All I know is I hope we're better than that
All I know is I hope we're better than that

[Verse 1]
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 one
And devotion to the trinity of me, myself and I

[Chorus]
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 we're better than that

[Verse 2]
I remember once this guy, made my girl cry
So I went to get a hammer to break his knees
Nothing came of it, except just macho bullshit
Or expression of the symptoms of the naked ape's disease

[Bridge]
And the nightmare keeps repeating
While the consciences are sleeping
Untroubled and unclean

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
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 the kid a while
And I watch the baby smile
I thought I'd outgrown hope
But what I see there gives me reason

[Chorus]
Once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?
It's inside of me and its inside of you
Addicted to the sickness its an actual fact
All I know is I hope we're better than that
All I know is I hope we're better than that

[Outro]
Oh we're better than that
Oh we're better than that
All I know is I hope we're better than that
