Better Times - Martin Rowberry

The clubs were all closed Streets dark and empty There seems a threat Every breath seems to tempt me Live life like we used to For those days we've had But we'll be together In better times Times when we join hands Neighbors and friends Times when the good times Together never end Times when we gather Ties that bind But we'll be together again In better times Friends on the street They all look like Jesse James Mask up at distant They just don't look the same Concerts and parties And football game Virtual everything's Just ain't the same Tired of 2020 Ready to flee Tired of being lonely Yearning to breathe free Remember the rhythm Remember the rhyme 'Cause we'll be together again In better times Friends on the street They all look like Jesse James Mask up at distant They just don't look the same Concerts and parties And football game Virtual everything's Just ain't the same Tired of 2020 Ready to flee Tired of being lonely Yearning to breathe free Remember the rhythm Remember the rhyme 'Cause we'll be together again In better times

Better times, I see good news in between the lines I don't wanna look through everybody's eyes, just mine Rose tinted lenses Momma told me that im sensless Or maybe just a little too sensitive For the world y'all wanna know Cause I was tryna see past, every other side show Every other relapse, only thing that I know Is you could never bring back Battles that you lost, but you could've one Scared of the real world, better leave real fast It'll be okay, if your willing to believe that I'd hate to see ya on the sidelines Checked out looking real... mad Got to find good news, in better times I see good news in between the lines I don't wanna look through everybody's eyes, just mine Rose tinted lenses Momma told me that im sensless Or maybe just a little too sensitive For the world y'all wanna know Take a second You never had a chance to live forever But your here now, but your here now And if all I gots today Id be a fool not to even try Just lay down and die Like fuck it

I want you to know the truth 'Cause I've been around before Thought I wasn't looking anymore Been a fool for weeks 'Cause my heart stands for nothing And your soul's too weak Got a will that's been around for days Goes far, if you want it It needs to behave But then you, you come around Big mistake I don't want to know I don't want to know We don't need a sign to know Better times Running around 'cause you beat yourself up And you made a crack and the one that you love is gone How much longer can you play with fire Before you turn into a liar? Running around 'cause you beat yourself up And you made a crack and the one that you love is gone How much longer can you play with fire Before you turn into a liar? I've been around before Thought you weren't looking anymore But then we, we come and go Go up in smoke I don't want to know I don't want to know We don't need a sign to know Better times

My mother told me 'fore she passed away Said, son, when I'm gone, don't forget to pray 'Cause there'll be hard times, hard times, woah, yeah, yeah Who knows better than I? Well, I soon found out just what she meant When I had to pawn my clothes just to pay my rent Talkin' 'bout hard times, hard times, woah, yeah, yeah Who knows a little better than I? I had a woman, Lord, who's always around But when I lost my money, she put me down Talkin' 'bout hard times, you know those hard, yeah, Lord Who knows better than I? Yeah, Lord, yeah, one of these days There'll be no more sorrow when I pass away And no more hard times, I said, no more hard, yeah, Lord Who knows, hey Lord, better than I?

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la Alla plockar blommor, blommorna på marken Och alla får, lägga sig var dom vill i parken Alla klappar takten, dansar ut på ängen Och alla får, sjunga lalala i refrängen Vi är som fiskar, fiskar som viskar Vad ska vi göra? Varför ska vi tänka? Vi behöver bara sjunga "lalalalalalala" Vad ska vi göra? Varför ska vi tänka? Vi behöver bara sjunga "lalalalalalala" Under alla kläder, barfota i solen Sommarvind, du är våt och jag är törstig Vi är som fåglar, fåglar som frågar Vad ska vi göra? Varför ska vi tänka? Vi behöver bara sjunga "lalalalalalala" Vad ska vi göra? Varför ska vi tänka? Vi behöver bara sjunga "lalalalalalala" Vi är som blommor, blommor som blommar Vi är som svanar, svanar som talar Vi är som ålar, ålar som vrålar Vi är som fiskar, fiskar som viskar Vad ska vi göra? Varför ska vi tänka? Vi behöver bara sjunga "lalalalalalala" Vad ska vi göra? Varför ska vi tänka? Vi behöver bara sjunga "lalalalalalala" Lalalalalalalalalalalalalala
