Better Than You

(앨범: The Black Labyrinth / A Requiem For The Goblin King - 2019)

Wow, look at that hair. Are you even aware
That you look scared under there? What a square
You're like a teenage nightmare
You sulk and swear, "It's so unfair"
Well, golly-gee-wiz
You say that so often I wonder what your basis for comparison is

Everybody thinks you think I think that I'm better than you
When you know it might be true that I'm more clever than you
Wasting all your time, minding what is mine
Thinking that I'm thinking that I'm smarter than you
When you know the simple truth is I work harder than you

Where you see walls, I see doors
Opportunity knocks, but it's a sound you ignore
You won't even try, I've been kicked to the floor
A million times and got up and was ready for more

Now what do I see, this simpering child in front of me
S'got a green-eyed beast called jealousy. It's plain to see
Even in your own nightmare, I hate to obsess
But you're a mess and you look distressed
But I digress, you must confess I'm not the cause of your lack of success

Everybody thinks you think I think that I'm better than you
When you know it might be true that I'm more clever than you
Wasting all your time, minding what is mine
Thinking that I'm thinking that I'm smarter than you
When you know the simple truth is I work harder than you

Everybody knows that planting seeds
The only way that it grows, keep it your own
And you know you'll have nothing to sow
A forest only grows when a billion ideas
Until the blizzard is blown
So plant one of your own
(Let it go)
Use your rage, leave your cage
Hit the stage and get on with the show

Everybody thinks you think I think that I'm better than you
When you know it might be true that I'm more clever than you
Wasting all your time, minding what is mine
Thinking that I'm thinking that I'm smarter than you
When you know it's simply true that I work harder than you
I work harder than you, I work harder than you
Which is why I'm doing better than you
