Better Than This

I'm thinking over it
I think too much
It hinders my spirit
when there's never enough
Shell-game sleight of hand
To wish for something more
Honest husbands, cheating wives
Generous buyers, greedy stores
"I'll get through it, I'll get through it"
I'll say it ten times over: "I'll get through it, I'll get
through it"
"I'm better than this"
That's what anchors me (I mean it weighs me down)
Can't give thanks to fear, can't say no to crowds
Guess I'll just play dumb (shouldn't be too hard : )
Peaceful people, violent guns
Sober drivers, drunken cars
I'm better than nothing and nothing is better than this
