BETTER THAN THEM

This is our town, this is Friday night
Dressed in our rags and our rage
And our best piercing eyes
Looking for something, anything, just anyone

Stare across the floors, they begin to dance
Missing all the rhythms and the chosen right steps
And we laugh and we drink in our corner again
We're better than them, we're better than them

Divided we were born, divided we live
Divided we fall, yeah, divided we die
Still we tell ourselves over and over again
We're better than them, we're better than them

With our hunger and our hatred
We all walk this town
With our fear and our weakness
Just holding on

With our doubt and our emptiness
And this cold, cold frown
We got to be so important
We'll put the whole damn world down

And we build the walls that we can hide behind
And our finest weapon is our poisoned pride
Here in this town where the jealousies burn
We're watching you

And truth is only what we need it to be
To bring us survival through each and every day
Where nowhere is safe and nowhere is home
Just be cool

And what was she wearing and what did he say?
Who goes with who and what did they do?
Yeah, we tell ourselves over and over again
We're better than them, we're better than them

With our hunger and our hatred
We all walk this town
with our fear and our weakness
Just holding on

With our doubt and our emptiness
And this cold, cold frown
We got to be so important
We'll put the whole damn world down

Divided we were born, divided we live
Divided we fall, yeah, divided we die
Still we tell ourselves over and over again
We're better than them, we're better than them

We're better than them, we're not like them
We're better than them
