East Cameron Folkcore - Better Off Lyrics

now we're living in the
age of mis-information
while we're sucking on the
marrow of yesterday's dead life
just filling up the
sky's with cheap gasoline

while we're standing on the edge
spitting fire at the stars with whiskey breath
will we hear the earth's tender ache
or slave ourselves to stupid that we can not understand

that we'd be BETTER OFF
be BETTER OFF
be BETTER OFF
if we all just did something right
we'd be BETTER OFF
be BETTER OFF
be BETTER OFF
if we cared less for money
and more just for life

fears run rampant in the
streets and in our homes and you and me
the revolution won't be on
TV just violence or death to see
but by then it'll be too
late to turn the war into love

cause now it's getting kind of hard to breath
and now my garden hose is a flame thrower
oh how could we be so dumb
as to kill our children's future
but not make them understand

that we could be BETTER OFF
be BETTER OFF
