Everybody's Better

(album: A Jackknife To A Swan - 2002)

Everybody's better than I am
I think everybody's better than me
And everybody's swell I guess
They're doing well some more or less
Everybody's better than I am I think
You know to be king you don't need a castle
To row back to shore can sure be a hassle
Why you walk around with your head low down
Everybody's acting like I don't matter
Everybody's into the act
Too many of them to avoid
It could be that I'm paranoid
I matter as a matter of fact
And you know to be king you don't need a castle
To row back to shore can sure be a hassle

Why you walk around with your head low down
The true king rules without a crown
If your boat's afloat after the typhoon
Row it safely back to the lagoon
And nevermind the green grass you won't mow
Or what it is you have or don't to show
Or what it is you can or can't afford
The good are good without reward
You know to be king you don't need a castle
To row back to shore can sure be a hassle
Why you walk around with your head low down
Everybody's better than I am
I think everybody's better than me
And everybody's swell I guess
They're doing well some more or less
Everybody's better than I am I think
Everybody's acting like I don't matter
Everybody's into the act
Too many of them to avoid
It could be that I'm paranoid
I matter as a matter of fact
And you know to be king you don't need a castle
No no! No No! No no no no
To row back to shore can sure be a hassle
You know to be king you don't need a castle
