lyrics

IT GETS BETTER

When your car breaks down
And it will certainly break down
Don’t cry and don’t frown
Don’t throw all the dishes around

When you don’t know what to do
Ugly children cough on you
Don’t pick them up and shake them
Children are fragile, you don’t want to break them

It gets better
It gets better

Close your eyes and count to ten
Try now to remember when
You had money to play with
And friends you could stay with

Happy days may still return
Take the ashes from the urn
Don’t be afraid to spill them
Trouble continue till somebody kills them

It gets better
It gets better

Dancing girls are in the chorus
Dancing girls are very gorgeous
Stupid and beautiful
Don’t they take your mind off the pain?

Trying to scrape up a buck
Heartbroken and poverty-struck
Smashing the seat just by sitting
You’ve got to be kidding

It gets better
It gets better


END.
