"You're Doing Better Than You Think You Are" lyrics
Ours is not an age, an age of refinement
I, I have come to see, to see
Beautiful though we are and a force for creation
We, we don't know who we are, we are
And we don't mind breaking things
Just to get a reaction
And they wield their torches high
To create a distraction
And I don't want that for me and you
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are, you are
Hungry mind, the wolves that feed on distraction
Lock the door and close your mind
Feed you on a diet of cold pressed snake oil
Keeps you full, but you're never satisfied
And they don't mind breaking things
Just to get a reaction
And they wield their torches high
To create a distraction
And then the light keeps shining
And the shiny light leaves you blind
So you need an extraction
And I don't want that for me and you
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are, you are
Oh, and we don't want that
Or, yes, we do?
Oh, and we don't want that
Or, yes, we do?
Oh, and we don't want that
No, we don't want that
Where does the day begin?
We're counting constellations
As, as they fade from their minds, their minds
But we, we are not a sigh
A husk, or a whisper
Oh, oh, we waltz in time, in time
And we don't mind breaking things
Just to get a reaction
And they wield their torches high
To create a distraction
And then the light keeps shining
And the shining light leaves you blind
So you need a distraction
And I really don't want to see that for me and you
'Cause you're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are
I, I have come to see, to see
Beautiful though we are and a force for creation
We, we don't know who we are, we are
And we don't mind breaking things
Just to get a reaction
And they wield their torches high
To create a distraction
And I don't want that for me and you
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are, you are
Hungry mind, the wolves that feed on distraction
Lock the door and close your mind
Feed you on a diet of cold pressed snake oil
Keeps you full, but you're never satisfied
And they don't mind breaking things
Just to get a reaction
And they wield their torches high
To create a distraction
And then the light keeps shining
And the shiny light leaves you blind
So you need an extraction
And I don't want that for me and you
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are, you are
Oh, and we don't want that
Or, yes, we do?
Oh, and we don't want that
Or, yes, we do?
Oh, and we don't want that
No, we don't want that
Where does the day begin?
We're counting constellations
As, as they fade from their minds, their minds
But we, we are not a sigh
A husk, or a whisper
Oh, oh, we waltz in time, in time
And we don't mind breaking things
Just to get a reaction
And they wield their torches high
To create a distraction
And then the light keeps shining
And the shining light leaves you blind
So you need a distraction
And I really don't want to see that for me and you
'Cause you're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are, you are
You're doing much better
Than you think you are
