William Hutson - A Better Place lyrics

[Intro] If ever you find yourself beaten and broke And can't feel the whip for the weight of the yoke And fear that the night will not turn into day Remember the darkness will show you the way It's a long way away, it's a long way away And I'm all alone along a long Long long long long long long way [Verse 1] Inside the mind of a man is a ma**acre Made up of many a miniature message And misses the most of it So convoluted, design for disaster It's making the best of a universe Far too expansive to cope with And he never chose nor was chosen By metrics that make any sense And the senses are numbed by emotional stresses [Hook] There must be a Better place to Be somebody Be somebody else [Verse 2] Who got time on a string, on a finger? Nothing to remember But the pa**age of it Who got time to let anything linger? Where it hovers Surely you will learn to love it Who got time for this love sh** anyway? Gotta survive Isn't that mess enough for him? [Hook] There must be a Better place to Be somebody Be somebody else [Verse 3] Set a course It's a bet upon an endless Roulette wheel odds are ungodly As are the odds of the body Making it through and surviving the gravity shift The gravitas of which is lost From the lost thoughts of a being ch-ch-chopped To a bite size in the light eyes Beggin' don't leave the messenger The messages and SOS and other S's In the language where it goes [Hook] There must be a Better place to Be somebody Be somebody else [Verse 4] And somebody gotta keep watch where the watch stops He talks about his pops in polarity Fingers fantasize of rocks there will never be "Land ho!" likely Lest a hole in the mantle of Heaven He's demanding the evidence for something That maybe never was for anyone He's missing something pretty He's missing where the air tastes gritty He's missing the splendor and misery Of bodies, of cities, of being missed [Hook] There must be a Better place to Be somebody Be somebody else [Verse 5] Flesh is weaker than the metal, it is true But the metal's being moved into a thing it doesn't do Circuitry is only serviceable as much as it is used So why don't you use it? Till you use it up, abuse it It is strong, it can take it if you can't Your sinews are more intuitively designed for dance Well, it set up a random course safely away from suns Four-hundred and twenty-three By a hundred and twelve by fifty-one [Hook] There must be a Better place to Be somebody Be somebody else [Verse 6] Inside the mind of a man is a mystery Made up of these centuries Of mistakes he believes Are important to be Part of his DNA, calls it history Species with memories longer Don't bother with sweating the old sh** Maybe it's this time-bound conscience That keeps him out pushing through nothing With only the hope brought on by this belief that [Hook] There must be a Better place to Be somebody Be somebody else [Bridge] Are you ready to go? Are you ready to go yet? Let's go Are you ready to go yet? Let's go Are you ready to go? Are you ready to go yet? Let's go Are you ready to go yet? Let's go Are you ready to go? Are you ready to go yet? Let's go Are you ready to go yet? Let's go [Hook] There must be a Better place to Be somebody Be somebody else [Outro] Go
