Better Men Lyrics by You, Me, and Everyone We Know

I Wish More People Gave a Shit

2013

[Verse 1]
They take their time with it
Pick out their favorite set
Of flaws to use to put the screws to her
Commanding officer, starting lineman, friend from work
Not a mask among the bunch to cause her fright
There was more you could’ve done
A proper lady doesn’t get to have fun
They just lost self-control
You shouldn’t have dressed like that
Recycle, reuse, ration out when reduce is the goal
Right?
[Chorus]
We call ourselves better men
As we watch them ruin daughters like that
We’re so self-satisfied that we’re better than
That we fail, we fail to be better men
[Verse 2]
I’ve watched friends and former lovers
Make the worst attempts to cover
Battle scars and open wounds
That don’t heal the way that we assume
Every social implication that leaves friends with indignation
It's a big, dark line from far away
But the closer we get, the more it greys
[Chorus]
We call ourselves better men
As we watch them ruin daughters like that
We’re so self-satisfied that we’re better than
That we fail we failed to be better men
Yeah, we fail, we fail to be better men
[Bridge]
There was more you could’ve done
A proper lady doesn’t get to have fun
They just lost self-control
You shouldn’t have dressed like that
I guess next time you’ll know
[Chorus]
We call ourselves better men
As we watch them ruin daughters like that
We’re so self-satisfied that we’re better than
That we fail, we fail to be better men
We call ourselves better men
As we watch them ruin daughters like that
We’re so self-satisfied to be better than
That we fail, we fail to be better men
We fail, we fail to be better men
