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
