Better Than You

(From The Album "Artificial Hip")

Sometimes
I wish I had a hiding place 
where no one could give me their shit 
for the dreams that I have
Sometimes
I wish I had a little book 
that had all the answers to all of the questions I ask
Sometimes
I wish I wasn't me

Chorus
But I guess it's better than being you
And doing all the weird things you put me through
It must be a drag just being you
All the time, all the time, all the time

Sometimes
I wish I wasn't on my knees 
begging forgiveness for something that I didn't do
Sometimes
I wish I weren't a beaten dog 
begging for Milk Bones that only belong to you
Sometimes
I wish I wasn't me

Chorus

There's a stairway to hell leading there on the ground
I see you at the end begging me to come down

No really, it's nice down here...

Sometimes
I drink too much alcohol 
but never enough to forget that you're still here today
Sometimes
I turn my guitar up loud 
but not loud enough not to hear all the shit that you say
Sometimes
I wish I wasn't me

Chorus
