Better Than That

Once you recognize the truth, tell me what do you do
 It's inside of me and it's inside of you
 Addicted to the sickness, it's an actual fact
 All I know is I hope that we're better than that
 (All I hope is that we're better than that)
 We try to lend a hand, help our fellow man
 We cooperate enough to stay alive
 But what is said and done, it's all about number one
 And the devotion to the trinity of me, myself and I
 Once you recognize the truth, tell me what do you do
 It's inside of me and it's inside of you
 Addicted to the sickness, it's an actual fact
 All I know is I hope that we're better than that
 Remember once this guy made my girl cry
 So I went to get a hammer to break his knees
 Nothing came of it, except just macho bullshit
 Or expression of the symptoms of the naked ape's disease
 And the nightmare keeps repeating
 While the consciences are sleeping
 Untroubled and unclean
 This cool girl that I know, went and had a baby
 An amazing leap of faith when I see them
 She lets me hold the kid a while, watch the baby smile
 Thought I'd outgrown hope, what I see there gives me reason
 Once you recognize the truth, tell me what do you do
 It's inside of me and it's inside of you
 Addicted to the sickness, it's an actual fact
 All I know is I hope that we're better than that
 I know is I hope that we're better than that
 Whoa, we're better than that
 Whoa, we're better than that
 All I know is I hope that we're better than that
