Lyrics
Better Days
By Beth Delavigne
V1
I've got to use credit
Cause I don't have the cash
Got laid off yesterday
Gotta find something fast
Sorry, so sorry, sorry, so sorry
V2
Afraid to eat a thing
There's so many recalls
Could start me a garden
Won't take care of it all
Sorry, so sorry , sorry , so sorry
CHORUS
There's so many sorry's to add to the pile
We haven't seen over the top in awhile
I'd have to climb a wall
Or jump high in the air
Some stop to help and some don't even care
And I pray , I pray
Hoping for better days
And I pray , I pray
Hoping for better days
V3
Taxes on everything
Even when we all die
Can't become president
Unless you tell a lie
Sorry, so sorry, sorry, so sorry
V4
Our kids aren't even safe
In their very own yards
There's a man driving round
In a black sedan car
Sorry, so sorry, sorry, so sorry
CHORUS
Bridge
The world isn't perfect
And it will never be
But at least we know
We're still living free
And I pray , I pray
Hoping for better days
And I pray, I pray
Hoping for better days
CHORUS
And I pray, I pray
Hoping for better days
And I pray, I pray
Hoping for better days
Humming
ALTERNATE VERSES
He's not ready for this
He just needs to be free
Really , listen baby
No, it's not you it's me
He won't be coming home
But he's a hero today
How do you tell the wife
With one one the way
The treatment didn't work
Do what you can for the pain
It won't be very long now
Lord, take her away
Ok , so what he's gay
That doesn't bother me
We should all have the right
To choose to get married
