Better

(album: All For One - 1991)

This girl didn't know what happened
When she knocked upon my door
The things you had, the life you lived
All the dreams you had before
Your eyes were facing your heart and soul
You know they said it all
What happened on that day back then
The moment hurt us all

Now you can see the reason why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them, or try hard to save your name

They said you'd never get anywhere
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
Yes I do

Well the days go by and you wonder why, "is this really true?"
Your heart says "No" but your feelings show the poor baby never knew
But you and I, we knew deep down, that ain't really you
We always knew that it'd work out right and we could start anew

Now you can see the reason why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them, or try hard to save your name

They said you'd never get anywhere
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better

Well things ain't always what they seem
So wake up and get outta your dreams
Things ain't always what they seem so wake up
Well things ain't always what they seem
Wake up man, you're in my dreams
Things ain't always

Oh now you can see the reason why not everyone's the same
And you don't have to please them, or try hard

They said you'd never get anywhere
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
They said you'd never get anywhere
Well they don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better

A one, two, three, four, they said you'd never get anywhere
Well they don't care and it's just not fair

You're never gonna get anywhere
That's what they tell me

Never, never, never, never, never, never, never gonna get anywhere
They don't care, and that's not fair

They said you'd never get anywhere
They don't care and it's just not fair
That you know, and I know better
