He’s a special little kid
Born on accident, raised by a fist
But in a little twist
Of fate he makes his name well known
When he runs from home
You know you can do better
You know you can do better than that
You know you can do better
Cause better’s what you got
Don’t tell the loner he’s a fake
Don’t hold your breath that he ain’t gonna flake
You’re home is not a hostel but
You gave him the key
Now he’s free
Won’t tell a soul I’m going in
Won’t let momma ask how it went
I might die not knowing what I was capable of
But I’ve known love
You know you can do better
You know you can do better than that
You know you can do better
Cause better’s what you got
You got a food stamp mom
You’re dad’s an ex con
But they’re all related
Your tombstone sister said your brother’s a bum
Cause he’s so sedated
An outstretched hand from my old man
But it’s so belated
I’m doin’ what I can but I know I can do better
Cause better’s what I got.
