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 hope is that we're better than that)

We try to lend a hand, help our fellow man

We cooperate enough to stay alive

But what is said and done, it's all about number one

And the devotion to the trinity of 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

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

And the nightmare keeps repeating

While the consciences are sleeping

Untroubled and unclean

This cool girl that I know, went and had a baby

An amazing leap of faith when I see them

She lets me hold the kid a while, watch the baby smile

Thought I'd outgrown hope, 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 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 know is I hope that we're better than that

Whoa, we're better than that

Whoa, we're better than that

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