Better Alive

Bees sting you
Bees sting you
Bees sting you
And proceed to die

Black and yellow stripes on me
I would buy my own TV
I'd watch the news every night
I'd find the root of every fight
I'd know better than to sting mankind
On their arms and legs and hearts and minds
They'll never be free, just cuz they're not as smart as me

Bees sting you and proceed to die
So what's another sacrifice
Come clean we're crumbling inside
Think we're better with whatever but we're better alive

We didn't watch the flames ignite
The queen's in charge you blame the hive
Why are we wasting precious time
Cuz I know you know and I know you know we're better alive

Bees sting you and proceed to die

Pain and pride tend to linger
Revenge replied to the stinger
Another just like the one before
Comes flying 'round asking for more

Didn't they see what happened
See the way he was flattened
Now they're dead just like I said
The bricks are red
The blood is bled

Bees sting you and proceed to die
So what's another sacrifice
Come clean we're crumbling inside
Think we're better with whatever but we're better alive

We didn't start the forest fire
The queen's in charge you blame the hive
Why are we wasting precious time
Cause I know you and I know you know we're better alive

Oh, what do we gain
Under your reign
Both victims slain
Who's to say who's the enemy
What's the point of a legacy
Who determines the penalty
Weaponry over empathy

Bees sting you and proceed to die
So what's another sacrifice
Come clean we're crumbling inside
Think we're better with whatever but we're better alive

We didn't watch the flames ignite
The queen's in charge you blame the hive
Oh me and you are worth a try
Cause I know you and I know you know we're better alive

Bees sting you
Bees sting you
Bees sting you
And proceed to die
Bees sting you
Bees sting you
I wonder why they even try
Bees sting you
Bees sting you
Bees sting you
And proceed to die
Bees sting you
Bees sting you
I wonder why they even try
