Songtext Better men You, Me, And Everyone We Know

Better men

They take their time with it
pick out their favorite scent
a force to used-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 to have fun
they just want some control
you shouldn’t have dressed like that
recycle reuse rational it reduces the goal (right!)

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

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’d 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 we praise

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
yea we failed we failed to be better men

there was more you could’ve done
a proper lady doesn’t to have fun
they just lost self-control
you shouldn’t have dressed like that
i guess next time you’ll know

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

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 failed to be better men
we failed we failed to be better men
