Christopher Cross - Got To Be A Better Way lyrics

Seething in his world Of carbohydrates and TV If it bit him on the a** He wouldn’t know empathy Blame is his solution for Every problem in the world “If you think like I do Then I’ll be there for you” He says “I pulled myself up By my bootstraps all my life So don’t you ask me to Help somebody else’s kids Someone else’s wife” His brain can*ls are crawling With stuff he heard somewhere He can’t tell truth from anger And nothing’s fair That love beneath your boots Might be your own It’s hard to even tell in your comfort zone There’s got to be a better way There’s got to be a better way That love beneath your boots Might be your own So careful what you crush When you feel alone There’s got to be a better way There’s got to be a better way He wants what he can’t have So bad he can taste it He say gimme He say gimme He say is that all? Gimme some more When he comes down that ego mountain The scene’ll be pretty grim Seven billion sad sad faces Staring up at him That love beneath your boots Might be your own It’s hard to even tell in your comfort zone There’s got to be a better way There’s got to be a better way That love beneath your boots Might be your own So careful what you crush When you feel alone There’s got to be a better way There’s got to be a better way He’s not the only one Breaking this land in two It could be me It might be you That love beneath your boots Might be your own It’s hard to even tell in your comfort zone There’s got to be a better way There’s got to be a better way That love beneath your boots Might be your own So careful what you crush When you feel alone There’s got to be a better way There’s got to be a better way That love beneath your boots Might be your own You know I’d rather run away You know I’d rather run away That love beneath your boots Might be your own There’s got to be a better way There’s got to be a better way
