Better Than That Lyrics

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 they were better than that
All I know is I hope they were better than thatTry to lend a hand to help our fellow man
Co-operate 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 IOnce 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 they were better than thatI 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 diseaseAnd the nightmare keeps repeating
While the consciences are sleeping
Untroubled and uncleanThis cool girl that I know, went and had a baby
An amazing leap of faith when I see them
She lets me hold her kid a while an' I watch the baby smile

I thought I'd outgrown hope but what I see there gives me reasonOnce 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 they were better than that
All I know is I hope they were better than thatOh, better than that
Oh, better than that
All I know is I hope they were better than that
