Better Days Lyrics

I been looking for better days, I been looking for a slower time

Been trying to change my ways, trying not to lose what's mine

And all the times I waited but it never came

Can't win the prize unless you're gonna play the game

And all the things I thought but I ain't ever say

And now you're gone, I had to leave, I blew away

Now I sit back and think about when I was younger

When I was still full of life and still had that hunger

I would think about the future and I was still full of wonder

Couldn't help but be consumed by skirts and what was under

Now I'm cynical and solitaire, don't care about much

I'm not concerned with socializing, I don't yearn for human touch

I'm comfortable with where I am, I can stand without a crutch

So why am I looking to the past for a blast of such and such

I got good things going on ya know, what am I doing, wasting all of my time

Got a good thing going on ya know, what am I doing, not taking advantage of it

I got good things going on in my life, so why am I always, so fucking miserable

Got pressures, other people can't see, we should be striving to have better days

And all the times I waited but it never came

Can't win the prize unless you're gonna play the game

And all the things I thought but I ain't ever say

And now you're gone, I had to leave, I blew away

The grass is greener on the opposite side

That means that most of us are not really enjoying the ride

That's by design, when corporations controlling our lives

Always wanting, while we're needing something new to buy

Maybe these are the better days, if we can put that shit away

It's just distractions basking in the marketing masquerade

Got us reminiscing about the past, past tense while they get paid

Make your life great again, it's a con it's a charade

Cause we had a good thing, going on ya know

What are we doing, giving them the power

Had a good thing, going on ya know

They get the power and they take advantage of it

We want good things, better than we got

Do we deserve them, well I don't know about that

We want good times, cause it's been so hard

Everyone just wants some better days

And all the times we waited but they never came

Can't say you'll change if you just gonna stay the same

And all the things we should've said but didn't say

Now it's too late, there will be, no more better days
