There Must Be Something Better Than This
(circa 1975)
I've been to college
I'm willing to work,
But I can't get a job.
Ain't got no money
Loosing my honey
The kids scream like a mob.
I'm trying to make it
Or I'll break it
What's a guy to do?
It's the system
And I'm in it
And so are you.
There must be something better than this, than this, than this,
There must be something better in store.
There must be something better than this, than this, than this,
There must be something better, and more.
If I make money
Taxes take it
I'm better off on the dole.
The only incentive
To make it
Is "Work is good for the soul."
The dollar's shrinking
I can't buy
What I bought yesterday.
We're heading for
Some hard times
What else can I say?
There must be something better than this, than this, than this,
There must be something better in store.
There must be something better than this, than this, than this,
There must be something better, and more.
There must be something better
Must be something better, must be something better
Than this...For me.
There must be something better
Must be something better, must be something better
Than this...For me and you.
People turn money
Into Gold
And try to save what they have.
But I've no money
To save my soul
I throw my hands up and laugh.
Some store food
In their cellars
To prepare for the day;
For the fall,
Of the dollar
That's coming any day
There must be something better than this, than this, than this,
There must be something better in store.
There must be something better than this, than this, than this,
There must be something better, and more.
There's change a comin'
It's in the air
Is it good or bad?
If we sit around
And do nothing
Our lot will be very sad
We need to know
What to do
And start right away.
Just preaching
Does nothing
We must do what we say.
There must be something better than this, than this, than this,
There must be something better in store.
There must be something better than this, than this, than this,
There must be something better, and more.
There must be something better
Must be something better, must be something better
Than this...For me.
There must be something better
Must be something better, must be something better
Than this...For me and you.
