A Better Life

sammy always used to be happy

he'd wake up early every day

he'd see the world go to work in the morning

and then he'd wait for them all day

and then he'd sit and wait all day



a better life can drag you down

a better life can drag you down

a better life can drag you down

and make you leave without a sound



sammy never used to be sorry

he'd say i'm not great but i'm okay

i'm half a man alright but i'm living

i'm almost gone but i'm still here

i'm almost gone but i'm still here



a better life can drag you down

a better life can drag you down

a better life can drag you down

and make you leave without a sound
