Just around the corner, and over the hill

I'm still a dollar short, and that's a poor man's will

It's two days late, I'm on a three-day binge

Fighting on this battlefield, and I want a weekend

Another step behind, in this life of sin

I was only still ten or twelve, and now I'm going back again

There's gotta be change, we can't all stay the same

It's gotta get better

We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me

Pray that there's hope for me

We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me

Pray that there's hope for me

It's gotta get better

I've been holding on, to these words you left

It's like a stone you throw, you never get it back again

But there's a heart of gold, buried in this pile of shit

And as if your looks don't show, it's clear that you don't get it

There's gotta be change, we can't all stay the same

It's gotta get better

We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me

Pray that there's hope for me

We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me

Pray that there's hope for me

When you're holding on to nothing, it's just gonna get harder

We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me

Pray that there's hope for me

We can't all be bad, pray that there's hope for me

Pray that there's hope for me

It's gotta get better

It's gotta get better

It's gotta get better

It's gotta get better
