Life is not a spark in space
An episode of Will and Grace
Controversial yet mundane
Debrah's messing with your brain
Even Scientologists
Know there's more to all of this
You search the ruins for trap doors
Wonder what you're put here for
Simple as a hint of gas
Climbing nostrils as you pass
Making Harvard's graduates
Feel childish when they laugh at it
Climb the rungs to kingdom come
Sour Patch to acid tongue
Are you opposed to having fun?
You clench the world between your buns

You could do better, you could do better
You could be the greatest man in the world (whoa)
You could do better, you could do better
You could be the greatest man in the world (whoa)

Your life is always the post of something else
Where is the present in the way that you present yourself?
And it's disgusting how little that you try
The existential equivalent of pink eye
Drink alone and watch TV
You're expecting harmonies
To tap your tune with silver spoons
And the anthem of impending doom
Guiding Satan's steady hand
Forcing Beatles to disband
Its ego freaks and drama queens
The young at heart know what I mean

You could do better, you could do better
You could be the greatest man in the world (whoa)
You could do better, you could do better
You could be the greatest man in the world (whoa)

You could do better, better than that you're a fraud
Thank God and learn to keep your shirt on
You could do better, you could do better
You could be the greatest man in the world

You'd burn so brightly
You'd burn so brightly in the dark
You'd burn so brightly
You'd burn so, you'd burn so

You could do better, you could do better
You could be the greatest man in the world (whoa)
You could do better, you could do better
You could be the greatest man in the world (whoa)

You could do better, better than that you're a fraud
Thank God and learn to keep your shirt on
You could do better, you could do better
You could be the greatest man in the world (whoa)

You could do better, you could do better
You could be the greatest man in the world (whoa)
We could do better, we could do better
We could be the greatest band in the world (whoa)
