Something Better Lyrics

Jim: I wake up each day and wonder what for
It seems to me there must be something more
Something more than stacks of dishes
And washing this old floor
If I had my pick of wishes
I'd wish me out that door
Cause I'm hungry for adventure
And I'm fed up with this grind
If I don't get some adventure soon
I'm gonna lose my mind
I want a life that's filled with thrills
That's wild and free
There's gotta be something better
Something better
There's gotta be something better than this for me

Jim: I look around here and I want to cry
Rizzo: "Aw, me too"

Jim: I feel like the world is passing me by
Gonzo: "It is!"

Jim: And I just can't help but wonder
Am I doomed to wash and dry
And is it a curse I'm under
To do it till I die
Gonzo: "Well, I hope not."
Rizzo: "Yeah..."

Jim: When I could be an explorer
Gonzo: "Sure you could!"
Jim: Sailing off to distant lands
Rizzo: "Not so fast"

Jim: Instead of spending every afternoon
Just getting dish pan hands
My future looks like nowhere that I want to be
There's gotta be something better
Something better
There's gotta be something better than this for me

Gonzo: Well, now your talkin'!
If its weird and wild let's go and find it
The crazier the better is what I say

Rizzo: Yeah, that's true
To tell the truth I really wouldn't mind it

Gonzo: Mind what?

Rizzo: If we find someplace with ten square meals a day
Jim/Gon: Let danger call my name

Rizzo: If it does I'm gonna hide

Jim: I'll put my courage to the test

Gonzo: And I'll be my your side

Rizzo: We'll be by your side

Jim: There's gotta be something better than this

Gon/Riz: Something more than this

Jim: I know there's so much out there to see
And I know this life I'm living can be my destiny

All: There's gotta be something better
Something better

Jim: There's gotta be something better than this for me

Gonzo: And me!

Rizzo: Wait a minute, what about me?

All: There's something better than this for you and me
