I'd drown all these crying babies
If I knew that their mothers wouldn't cry
I'd throw you down in the back seat
And rob whole families blind
A fantastic way to kill some time
I'd do it to you like you do it to me
Way up, way up, way up
It's hard to be the better man
As if you'd committed a terrible crime
If I knew that you weren't inside
I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft
It's hard to be the better man
When you forget you're trying
To let a piece of myself die
It's hard to be the better man
Taunting when all your appeals were declined
When you forget you're trying
I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs
You could try and be way up
And you could lay on your back and be beaten
It's hard to be the better man
If you knew you would get away fine
When you forget you're trying
I'd drive my car off of a bridge
I'd break in a town's worth of houses
I'd arrest you if I had time
Way up, way up, way up
It's hard be the better man
With a pedal to the floor who could ask for more
You could put up your fists and fight
It's hard to be the better man
When you're still lying
I'd wait for you outside the courtroom
