Better

Dreams big house money and fast cars This year you'll be headed for the stars The bar is closing in you'll be there With your eyes to the ceiling with no comparison to feeling We know when you get there The bar always rises into thin air Until you reach your moment the door is closing And in the end you'll end up with nothing But you want everyone to stand with you Big lies headlines in the main stream news Your turns over you're not moving on There's something in the air now you're not compromising truth Now you're not the one the day has just begun The unity replaced with the sounds of guns and street violence And peace silenced where police are the enemy and fear for the sirens You said it wouldn't come to this and I put my hands up to the sky I just wanna learn to live my life and hope that things get better You said it wouldn't come to this and I put my hands up to the sky I just wanna learn to live my life and hope that things get better Are we all united our downfall climbing There's fire on the streets politicians fighting I hear you but we gotta overcome the commotion Truth doesn't bend or bow to our emotion Honour can never be replaced with power The system can't replace the respect of fathers We hate the brother replace the lover And take advantage of the ones we govern But this cannot become our new destination Where lies can find a new home in education Full hostility corrupt the news We are our worst enemy win or lose You said it wouldn't come to this and I put my hands up to the sky I just wanna learn to live my life and hope that things get better You said it wouldn't come to this and I put my hands up to the sky I just wanna learn to live my life and hope that things get better Because we all need love and truth got rejected Buried in the past with the cross-less churches But we invited we stood united With the world and culture and our hearts divided Truth is truth has always been the issue When hearts stand alone may the fight continue We all bend and break though we love to hate Will we stand tall now or let the world invade You said it wouldn't come to this and I put my hands up to the sky I just wanna learn to live my life and hope that things get better You said it wouldn't come to this and I put my hands up to the sky I just wanna learn to live my life and hope that things get better
