On peut toujours faire mieux, à moins d'accepter les choses comme elles sont.
We can always do better, except if you accept things the way they are.
lyrics
Better
Who are these monsters we keep inside our lives?
Who are they, where did they come from?
The stories we’ve heard forever, filled up with lies
Made us think we need them…
We seek light in their shadow,
They grow strong and invisible
Yet we won’t talk about it
They will ravage every bit of goodness
They will wrap us in madness
They will burn away the best of nature
Yet we pretend…
We never been happier
Sun is still shining
What else could we be asking for?
Don’t think about politics, it’s too complicated…
Buy yourself some sugar!
Find peace wherever you can…
Get a new car, or maybe the latest video game!
They will ravage every bit of goodness
They will wrap us in madness
They will burn away the best of nature
Yet we pretend we could not do any better.
