Christopher Cross — Got to Be a Better Way lyrics

Lyrics

Seething in his world
Of carbohydrates and TV
If it bit him on the ass
He wouldn’t know empathy
Blame is his solution for
Every problem in the world
«If you think like I do Then I’ll be there for you»
He says «I pulled myself up By my bootstraps all my life
So don’t you ask me to Help somebody else’s kids
Someone else’s wife»
His brain canals are crawling
With stuff he heard somewhere
He can’t tell truth from anger
And nothing’s fair
That love beneath your boots
Might be your own
It’s hard to even tell in your comfort zone
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way
That love beneath your boots
Might be your own
So careful what you crush
When you feel alone
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way
He wants what he can’t have
So bad he can taste it He say gimme
He say gimme
He say is that all? Gimme some more
When he comes down that ego mountain
The scene’ll be pretty grim
Seven billion sad sad faces
Staring up at him
That love beneath your boots
Might be your own
It’s hard to even tell in your comfort zone
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way
That love beneath your boots
Might be your own
So careful what you crush
When you feel alone
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way
He’s not the only one
Breaking this land in two
It could be me It might be you
That love beneath your boots
Might be your own
It’s hard to even tell in your comfort zone
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way
That love beneath your boots
Might be your own
So careful what you crush
When you feel alone
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way
That love beneath your boots
Might be your own
You know I’d rather run away
You know I’d rather run away
That love beneath your boots
Might be your own
There’s got to be a better way
There’s got to be a better way
