Better Life

See there's a CEO of an IT company
On executive floor
His wife had started to cheat
But in fact so had he
He never had the time she longed for

And there is a young girl
At the bus stop holding a cup
She has put on much weight
She almost lost the job
'Cause the company's a flop
Today she was too late for her date

I mean everybody wants a better life
I mean everybody wants a better life
I wish we could all be free someday
Saying everything's alright
I mean everybody wants a better life
I mean everybody wants a better life
I wish we could all be free someday
Saying everything's alright

See the lady in gold
At the corner acting tough
She wears expensive jewels
Her grandson ripped her off
Now she has had enough
It's almost time for her final bruise

And there is a young boy
With tan lines near the pool
Why is he feeling sad?
The teacher wasn't cool
And next day after school
He said he wants to meet this boy's dad

I mean everybody wants a better life
I mean everybody wants a better life
I wish we could all be free someday
Saying everything's alright

Today everybody's living on a dream
But with greed the people all become so mean
I wonder if we learn someday
How the days could be so bright for us all

And what about me
When I am singing along
Will I win your heart?
I fear this pretty song
Isn't moving anyone
So it will never ever gonna hit the charts

I mean everybody wants a better life
I mean everybody wants a better life
I wish we could all be free someday
Saying everything's alright

I mean everybody wants to have it all
But into each life a little rain must fall
To help remind all of us of
The good, great and better life

I mean everybody wants a better life
I mean everybody wants a better life
I wish we could all be free someday
Saying everything's alright
