Lyrics
Better Times, Better Days
Words & Music: David Michael Miller
CHORUS
Better times, better days, pushing through the other while we’re heading for, yeah
Better times, better days, pushing through the other while we’re heading for
Thrown stones from our phones, bruise bone of our bone, and act like they’re the unknown
It’s all screens and digits, walls for bridges, calls for visits, false religion, tunnel vision, the gadgets have us
Pick our side, it’s ride or die, like a battle cry but its only shallow ringside pride
So thirsty for a tribe and a link to subscribe, that we shamelessly bribe and compromise our higher vibe
CHORUS
Label all those, who differ are foes, judging like we’re the pros, as though we in the know
Cuz I got rights, and mine must be right, so don’t agree? well it’s fight or flight
Indulging every thought, dreams we trapped and caught, the lies that we sold and bought
Spin our truth though it’s unwinding, Cuz our pride is all but blinding, till our versions the only one we’re finding
CHORUS
