Better Thang

Mary is a girl from the country side, long brown hair and blue-eyed
She's out for luck and a straight career, motivated 'n'without fear
Mary's concrete plan is not to fail, trained by the system to prevail
High performance is all that counts, the secret of success is found

Mary's boyfriend is a guy named Ted, he loves her
Well, that's what he said
There are a lot of things Mary does prefer but Ted
He wants to marry her

And he dreams about their future plans
Doing for her everything he can
So, he surprises her with a diamond ring but she's like:
"C'mon, there must be a better thing!"

John is a boy from the big city, short black hair and oh so pretty
He's out for fun and partytime, the little thrills 'n' all the crimes
John's parents represent the upper class, they got money
So they let him pass

Money is no matter 'cause they got enough, life's easy!
No, it ain't tough
John's supposed to become a profit man
With all support of his family clan

There are a lot of things John does prefer, so all he does is to defer
And he dreams about his future plan, deciding on his own - like a man
But his parents tell him: "YOU gonna be king!" and he
"C'mon mom & dad, there must be a better thing!"

One day Mary meets John in a nice Café
Falling in love, nothing more to say
They're out for luck and partytime, motivated for all their crimes
The upperclass won't fail anyway!
Well, that is what all the people say
They are talking about their illusions
And consequently having a fusion

But over the years, you know, it's like a curse
Things with Mary 'n'John got worse
Yellin' at each other unfulfilled claims, defamations
Where is all the fame?
Now both are completely fucked up, screamin'out: "DAMN!
There must be somethin'out there, let's go 'n' find... a better thang!"
