Just around the corner, and over the hill
I'm still a dollar short, and that's a poor man's will
It's two days late, I'm on a three-day binge
Fighting on this battlefield, and I want a weekend
Another step behind, in this life of sin
I was only still ten or twelve, and now I'm going back again
There's gotta be change, we can't all stay the same
It's gotta get better
We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me
Pray that there's hope for me
We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me
Pray that there's hope for me
It's gotta get better
I've been holding on, to these words you left
It's like a stone you throw, you never get it back again
But there's a heart of gold, buried in this pile of shit
And as if your looks don't show, it's clear that you don't get it
There's gotta be change, we can't all stay the same
It's gotta get better
We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me
Pray that there's hope for me
We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me
Pray that there's hope for me
When you're holding on to nothing, it's just gonna get harder
We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me
Pray that there's hope for me
We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me
Pray that there's hope for me
It's gotta get better
It's gotta get better
It's gotta get better
It's gotta get better
