Better Than This

I'm thinking over it
I think too much
It hinders my spirit when there's never enough
Shell-game sleight of hand to wish for something more
Honest husbands, cheating wives
Generous buyers, greedy stores

I'll get through it, I'll get through it
I'll say it ten times over
I'll get through it, I'll get through it
I'm better than this
Better than this
Better than...

That's what anchors me (I mean it weighs me down)
I can't give thanks to fear
Can't say no to crowds
Guess I'll just play dumb -- shouldn't be too hard
Peaceful people, violent guns
Sober drivers, drunken cars

I'll get through it, I'll get through it
I'll say it ten times over
I'll get through it, I'll get through it
I'm better than this
Better than this
Better than...

I'm better than... I'm better than nothing
I'm better than nothing and nothing is better than this
