Better Songtext

Ten thousand people died

I pack my things, turn off the TV, then I run

My cab is waiting outside

Refugees hide

I tell him where to go

War is near by

It\'s on the radio

No turning back

Were out of time is all I say

Bad traffic today


refr.

Sometimes I wonder if I should have known better

That I allow myself to live this way

We are denying all that really matters

I am ashamed of the world today

So ashamed to say that we should know better



A girl walks by

Came here to build her life

She\'s got no rights

Her heart is paralised

Her chances gone

I hope she didn\'t hear me say

It\'s a beautiful day



refr.



Sometimes I wonder if I should have known better

That I allow myself to live this way

We are denying all that really matters

I am ashamed of the world today

So ashamed to say that we should know better





mid 8



It\'s so ironic when we talk about faith

To clear our conscience, try to compensate

For what is said and done

But we just go on

So ashamed to say that we should know better



refr.



Sometimes I wonder if I should have known better

That I allow myself to live this way

We are denying all that really matters

I am ashamed of the world today

So ashamed to say that we should know better



refr.



Sometimes I wonder if we should have known better

That we allow ourselves to live this way

We are denying all that really matters

I am ashamed of the world today

So ashamed to say that we should know better
