"Better Off" lyrics

"Better Off"

So easy for you to say
Gold, easy for you to gain
Wealth, for me one of these days
Well, it's cold what they take away

When you finally give your best and
You find you've been arrested
I was told, I was told what to say

Just when you've had enough
Running out of choices to choose
Just give me something I can use
Every day a bit more to lose
And we're better off with than without

Sold to the buyer at play
Gold, it's pretty for a campaign
Mine is coming one of these days
This gets so old, what they take away

So how can you defend it?
So much, you never spend it
Man, it's cold but I guess that's the way

Just when you've had enough
Running out of choices to choose
Just give me something I can use
All the time I've wasted on you
Everything is just out of reach
Every day a bit more to lose
And we're better off with than without

So if you've had enough
Running out of choices to choose
Just give me something I can use
Every day a bit more to lose

You think you've had enough
Running out of choices to choose
Just give me something I can use
All the time I've wasted on you
Everything is just out of view
Every day a bit more to lose
You're better off with than without
