If I Were a Better Man
If I were a commoner with a common name
Would you love me just the same
If I were a conqueror
That rode against Charlemagne
Would you save me in time with all the saints
If I were a better man
Maybe I'd understand
What it takes
To bear this heartache
You cut me to pieces
Into captions
By your captains
Of your armies
You always win the war
With your battleships
If I were a carpenter
And built with my hands a frame
Would you let it carry you your days
If I were a better man
Maybe I'd understand
What it takes
To bury this heartache
You cut me to pieces
Into captions
By your captains
Of your poetry
You always win the war
With your battleships
Would you love me just the same
If I were a conqueror
That rode against Charlemagne
Would you save me in time with all the saints
If I were a better man
Maybe I'd understand
What it takes
To bear this heartache
You cut me to pieces
Into captions
By your captains
Of your armies
You always win the war
With your battleships
If I were a carpenter
And built with my hands a frame
Would you let it carry you your days
If I were a better man
Maybe I'd understand
What it takes
To bury this heartache
You cut me to pieces
Into captions
By your captains
Of your poetry
You always win the war
With your battleships
