Dan Le Sac – Get Better Lyrics
Lyrics
- Imagine a song, that really reached out and touched kids,
- And not in a Daily Mail way, innocence corrupted,
- But in a way where criticism remained constructive,
- And wasn't too politicised and children weren't instructed,
- To behave in a way that was unrealistic,
- Or made out the way they live was somehow sick and twisted,
- But simply pointed out reasons to get it together,
- Not shouting "get a job", but just saying,
Chorus
- Get better, get better, get better, get better,
- Get better, get better, get,
- Get better, get better, get better, get better,
- Get better,
- Get better,
- Get better, get better, get better,
- Get better, get better, get,
- Get better, get better, get better,
- Get better,
Verse 1
- You see the young mother capital is where I live,
- Little kids being raised by slightly bigger kids,
- Society seems unphased that this is how it is,
- While I'm constantly amazed that this is how it is,
- They confuse love at first sight with lust at first light,
- It must have hurt right when trust first took flight,
- You're young, you've no rights, you long for new heights,
- But some of those nights leave more than love bites,
- Tops cropped, skirts stop at the top of their thighs,
- And the boys got that hungry look in their eyes,
- They wanna be grown up and have respect you see,
- But they're acting uneducated sexually,
- I ain't saying' be celibate,
- Go out and have your fun,
- But there's plenty you can do without impregnation,
- And there ain't nothing wrong at all with having children,
- Just build yourself a little before you try to build them,
- And,
Chorus
Verse 2
- I see small town syndrome growing in size,
- There's not a lot to do, so the kids they decide,
- To get drunk every night, a glazed eyes disguise,
- Do drugs every night, tired from their lives,
- People getting off their faces for a quiet night in,
- Kids rolling around the streets rowing and fighting,
- But it's all just because life ain't too exciting,
- And it's easier than trying to do the right thing,
- But there are other choices --- if you want them,
- You don't have to tow the line and just float with the flotsam,
- You can build your time better when you find a passion,
- The Internet and public services give free education,
- So it really ain't a case of rich or poor,
- It's a case of self-motivation and nothing more,
- Like Billy says, whether you have or you have not wealth,
- The system might fail you, but don't fail yourself,
- Just,
Chorus
