"Better Than That" lyrics

Once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?
It's inside of me and its inside of you
Addicted to the sickness it's an actual fact
All I know is I hope we're better than that
All I know is I hope we're better than that

We try to lend a hand, to help our fellow man
We cooperate enough to stay alive
But what is said and done, it's all about number one
And devotion to the trinity of me, myself and I

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 we're better than that

I 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 disease

And the nightmare keeps repeating
While the consciences are sleeping
Untroubled and unclean

This cool girl that I know went and had a baby
An amazing leap of faith, and when I see them
She lets me hold the kid a while
And I watch the baby smile
I thought I'd outgrown hope
But what I see there gives me reason

Once you recognize the truth tell me what do you do?
It's inside of me and its inside of you
Addicted to the sickness its an actual fact
All I know is I hope we're better than that
All I know is I hope we're better than that

Oh, we're better than that
Oh, we're better than that
All I know is I hope we're better than that
