Lyrics Better Than You - Aurelio Voltaire

Wow, look at that hair, are you even aware
That you look scared under there what a square
You're like a teenage nightmare you sulk and swear
It's so unfair, well golly-jeez-whiz
You say that so often I wonder what your bases for comparison is

Everybody thinks you think I think that I'm better than you
When you know it might be true that I'm more clever than you
Wasting all your time minding what is mine
Thinking that I'm thinking that I'm smarter than you
When you know the simple truth is I work harder than you
When you see walls, I see doors
Opportunity knocks, it's the sound you ignore
Well, you won't even try, I've been kicked to the floor
A million times and I got up and was ready for more

Now what do I see, this simpering child in front of me
It's got a green-eyed beast called jealousy, it's plain to see
Even in your own nightmare, I hate to obsess, but you're a mess
And you look distressed, but I digress
You must confess I'm not the cause of your lack of success

Everybody thinks you think I think that I'm better than you
When you know it might be true that I'm more clever than you
Wasting all your time minding what is mine
Thinking that I'm thinking that I'm smarter than you
When you know the simple truth is I work harder than you
Everybody knows that planting the seed the only that it grows
Keep it to your own and you know you got nothing to sew
A forest only grows when a billion ideas until the blizzard is gone
So plan one of your own (let it go) Use your rage, leave your cage
Hit the stage and get on with the show

When you know it might be true that I'm more clever than you
Wasting all your time minding what is mine
Thinking that I'm thinking that I'm smarter than you
When you know it's simply true that I work harder than you
I work harder than you, I work harder than you
Which is why I'm doing better than you
