Better, better better, people, you know better, better, better.
Better, better better, people, you know better
Racists and hypocrites,
Haters, talkers
pundits, naggers
jokers, [made-up word]
Real things are important things
Things that happen, so look around
Give me something cause I'm gasping for air
Confusion and chaos and now enough with the bluff
Many are hungry, many of them die
How can we live like some people do?
And they go right down the middle of it
Or tackle it,
Keep your back straight and your head high.
the police shoot, riots started,
Media gossip and tears fall
Drowned in the noise or sunk in drunkenness
The hate and the talk stay longest at home
Folk are so scared and people so cold
So are people ready when emotions run high?
Chorus:
I say
If we get along better, understand better
The better it goes the better we'll feel
If we grow better and think better
Better I think we'll become better people.
If we get along better, understand better
The better it goes the better we'll feel
If we grow better and think better
Better I think we'll become better people.
When the walls fall, when eyes are opened
When the cries and the stones reach the highest
Hall of the king, ministers, bosses
As it gets worse it makes the risk fatter
That something will happen, something will change
That something takes a turn, should be expected
But we carry on and we traipse and we fight
Trudge and work in dilapidated shacks
Hope we love we believe and judge
We're blinded, we're held back, they reshape the lies
The advertising and pictures and dreams disappear.
We glare and we run they empty our memory.
Love is missing like power to the people.
Then they want to listen we move in that direction.
It’s wrong, down with it, enough with it, stop with it
If they dare to deny us we’ll set fire to it.
Chorus:
I say
If we get along better, understand better
The better it goes the better we'll feel
If we grow better and think better
Better I think we'll become better people.
If we get along better, understand better
The better it goes the better we'll feel
If we grow better and think better
Better I think we'll become better people.
The time has come so take me by the collar.
People run them over and shoot at the stomach.
The decision is made, they ask no-one.
No-one dares at all
Protest, more and many.
Eliminate, elevate.
They miss the point, blame certain people
Forget about the long run and celebrate fascists
Put an end to it, out with it, let me be!
For no-one can stop our song today
And you know, cause we take it there…
And we want to, so we take it there
And you want to, so we take it there.
Chorus 2x:
I say
If we get along better, understand better
The better it goes the better we'll feel
If we grow better and think better
Better I think we'll become better people.
If we get along better, understand better
The better it goes the better we'll feel
If we grow better and think better
Better I think we'll become better people.
