Betterland
Lately I've been facing this version of me
My thirties will only be spent so I won't be
A resentful, ill-tempered
All-thought-no-effort of a man
I crave what I deserve
I toiled, I broke my back
So I'll be better off in Betterland
Better off in Betterland
The bitter end of bitter men
Fertile lands of Betterland
Better off in Betterland
Better off in Betterland
The bitter end of bitter men
Fertile lands of Betterland
I'm scared I'll turn into a laughingstock
What if my only skill is disappointing mom?
She says the world owes you nothing
The world owes you nothing!
And I know she's right
Work so you don't feel like a parasite
It's all I know
For what it's worth
Of that I can't be sure
Don't tell me to be honest with myself
The more I see what's there
The more attention I crave
I could eat the world
Still it won't be enough
Lately
I've been facing
Lately
I've been facing
Facing the weight of defeat
Facing
Facing how selfish I'd been
Halfway there
Halfway, I need to get things off my chest
Fall down the right set of stairs
And I know that it's arrogant and childish to ask
But I cannot help it
I want it all
So I'll be better off in Betterland
Better off in Betterland
The bitter end of bitter men
Fertile lands of Betterland
Better off in Betterland
Better off in Betterland
The bitter end of bitter men
Fertile lands of Betterland
Better
I'll do better
Give me better
Always better
Room for better
Live for better
I'll do better
Give me better
Always better
Room for better
Live for better
I'll do better
Give me better
Always nothing
My thirties will only be spent so I won't be
A resentful, ill-tempered
All-thought-no-effort of a man
I crave what I deserve
I toiled, I broke my back
So I'll be better off in Betterland
Better off in Betterland
The bitter end of bitter men
Fertile lands of Betterland
Better off in Betterland
Better off in Betterland
The bitter end of bitter men
Fertile lands of Betterland
I'm scared I'll turn into a laughingstock
What if my only skill is disappointing mom?
She says the world owes you nothing
The world owes you nothing!
And I know she's right
Work so you don't feel like a parasite
It's all I know
For what it's worth
Of that I can't be sure
Don't tell me to be honest with myself
The more I see what's there
The more attention I crave
I could eat the world
Still it won't be enough
Lately
I've been facing
Lately
I've been facing
Facing the weight of defeat
Facing
Facing how selfish I'd been
Halfway there
Halfway, I need to get things off my chest
Fall down the right set of stairs
And I know that it's arrogant and childish to ask
But I cannot help it
I want it all
So I'll be better off in Betterland
Better off in Betterland
The bitter end of bitter men
Fertile lands of Betterland
Better off in Betterland
Better off in Betterland
The bitter end of bitter men
Fertile lands of Betterland
Better
I'll do better
Give me better
Always better
Room for better
Live for better
I'll do better
Give me better
Always better
Room for better
Live for better
I'll do better
Give me better
Always nothing
