Better Than This Lyrics

Every day of my life I run a race against time
"cause the state of the world is in the state of my mind
without peace in mind there's no peace at all
it takes more than a wall to make the barriers fall
I can't live as I learn when I'm still learning to live
how can I give what I got if I can't even forgive
but I won't sell my soul for that eternal bliss
because I know that it's got to get better than this
Every day is a fight against restrictions and rules
and every day is a fight against the white collar fools
but I'm as free from sin as you're ever going to be
so don't you wave your pathetic bible book at me
you're so sad it makes me sick how many times will it take
before you chiggidycheck yourself and learn from past mistakes
so don't you try to persuade me with your Judas kiss
because I know that it's got to get better than this
Better than this, better than this I know that it's got to get better than this
Better than this, better than this I know that it's got to get better than this
Better than this, better than this I know that it's got to get better than this
Better than this, better than this I know that it's got to get better than this
Every day all the time in the back of my mind
I keep on asking myself how we can be so blind
do we care are we aware of the fatal fact
that the world is a mess and that it's time to react
we can't keep looking back we can't live in the past
we've got to get ourselves together "cause were going down fast
I'll do whatever it takes except raise my fist
because I know that it's got to get better than this
