We need some black bean tea like we need some sleep And our eyes are closed but we don't sleep a wink Can't you see? Shit don't you know it gets better? Then we wake Rise quick Then we fade much faster but the patience in hand of the same old bastard says Don't put all your dreams in one basket Go ahead my friend you asked so I'll tell ya The simplicities of food clothes and shelter Shit don't you know it gets better? Comics and flicks a bag of grass is all we need Got a country house in the heart of the city I fret and forget defeated be patient If it rains sit still in five it's a changin' So don't put all your dreams in one basket Out back in the yard our stresses can rest Where the shrubs meet towers when the sun sets out west Don't you know it gets better? Comics and flicks a bag of grass is all we need Got a country house in the heart of the city Aw hell... Hey oh yeah it gets better from calm to all calamity The good and bad of everything Well hey oh yeah it gets better My nerves they swerve between the curve I guess it can only get better from here
