Better Life Lyrics

DADDY'S ON THE ROAD AGAIN, A SMILE UPON HIS FACE,
HE'S GETTING OUT OF ALL THE THINGS HE HATES,
SISTER'S ON THE PHONE AGAIN TO A BOY FROM SANTE FAY,
SHE'S HEARING ALL THE THINGS SHE WANTS TO HEAR HIM SAY,
THE PICTURES ON THE T.V. SCREEN, ARE SMALL AND BLACK AND WHITE,
TELLING THE NEWS, JUST THE WAY IT IS.

SMASH IT UP,
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE,
SMASH IT UP
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE.

SMASH IT UP,
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE,
SMASH IT UP
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE.

POLITICIANS AT THE DOOR, ALL SMILES AND PROMISES,
SHAPING THE WORLD, JUST THE WAY IT IS,
A PHOTO OF THE KENNEDY'S, HANGS UP AGAINST THE WALL,
JUST A FADED MEMORY, LIKE THE PAPER IN THE HALL,
SISTER'S STILL ON THE PHONE AGAIN TO THAT BOY FROM SANTE FAY,
SHE'S TELLING HIM ALL THE THINGS HE DON'T WANT TO HEAR HER SAY,
THEN SWITCH TO CHANNEL 99, IT'S DRAPED IN STARS AND STRIPES,
SELLING JESUS, JUST THE WAY IT IS.

SMASH IT UP,
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE,
SMASH IT UP
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE.

SMASH IT UP,
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE,
SMASH IT UP
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LOVE.


SMASH IT UP,
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE,
SMASH IT UP
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE.

SMASH IT UP,
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE,
SMASH IT UP
IT'S ALL WE NEED, DREAMING OF A BETTER LIFE.

Repeat to fade
