thought things would get better
He couldn't learn to buy a car,
He built a mountain off a broken bridge,
but his optimism never waned
He thought things would get better,
he was proud to be a socialist
No matter what this government did,
he would hold his head up high
He thought things would get better
Saw his wife break down and start to cry
He hid the kids through frustration
His son joined the army to hide
I apologize for sounding cynical
But I'm tired and I know why
I apologize for sounding cynical
But I'm tired, and I know why
there's good in this world
We thought things would get better
For that and violence in the public thing,
He thought things would get better
Like all politicians say they do
A somewhat disappointing view
Won't you give me some help?
Won't you give me some help?
I'm not too proud, too big
I can crawl if that's what you want
I apologize for sounding cynical
But I'm tired and I know why
I apologize for sounding cynical
But I'm tired and I know why
All I can say, who's good,
