Better Things for You Lyrics


Kind friends I'm here to tell you because I love your souls,
No doubt you've been converted but that a'int ever been all,
Some people may try to fool you they've got nothing better to do,
But Jesus Christ my savior has better things for you.
CHORUS:
He's got better things for you,
more than you friends can do,
He's got the Holy Ghost and the fire,
just to bring you through,
He's got better things for you,
more than your friends can do,
So set your mind on Jesus and better things for you.
Now Mary was a virgin she birthed the Son of God,
But that was not sufficient she to go with John,

And travel to Jerusalem and there he made her new,
And now she's sitting in glory with better things to do.
CHORUS
Anaius [sic] he was humble he prayed to God all day,
But that was not sufficient he did not kneel to pray,
Then God sent down His angels and told him what to do,
And now he's sitting in glory with better things to do.
CHORUS

The Holy Modal Rounders were an American folk music duo from the Lower East Side started in the early 1960s, consisting of Peter Stampfel and Steve Weber. Stampfel explained the origin of their name in the webzine Perfect Sound Forever: "We kept changing the name. First it was the Total Quintessence Stomach Pumpers. Then the Temporal Worth High Steppers. Then The Motherfucker Creek Babyrapers. That was just a joke name. He was Rinky-Dink Steve the Tin Horn and I was Fast Lightning Cumquat. He was Teddy Boy Forever and I was Wild Blue Yonder.
