Lyrics

Sometimes I wonder, just what am I fighting for?

Sometimes I question the purpose or cause I'm fighting for.

I win some battles, but I always lose the war

Despite winning some smaller battles, I consistently end up losing the overarching conflict or struggle.

I keep right on stumblin' in this no-man's land out here

I continually struggle in an undefined and dangerous area.

But I know, mmm yes, I know

I'm aware, deeply aware.

There must be a better world somewhere

I firmly believe there must exist a superior world elsewhere.


Flying high, some joker clips my wings

When I'm at my best, someone always sabotages my efforts.

Just because he gets a kick out of doing those kind of things

Often, someone takes pleasure in causing harm for no reason.

I keep on fallin' in space or just hangin' in mid-air

Continuously experiencing failures or being suspended without progress.

But I know, oh yes I know

But I'm certain, absolutely certain.

There has just got to be a better world somewhere

I strongly believe there must be a superior world elsewhere.


Every woman I want only wants herself

It seems the women I desire are self-centered.

Everybody I love, seems to love somebody else

The people I love are often in love with someone else.

And every woman got a license to break my heart

Every woman has the capability to hurt me emotionally.

And every love affair is over, over before it gets a chance to start, yeah

Most relationships end before they have a chance to develop.


If it ain't dead, maybe in the year after

If hope isn't lost, maybe in the future.

Instead of tears, I'll learn all about laughter

I might replace sadness with happiness.

But meanwhile I'm stuck out here

But for now, I'm stranded in this situation.

It just ain't fair, but I know, I said I know, oh yes I know

It's unjust, but I remain convinced.

There must be a better world somewhere

I strongly believe there must exist a superior world elsewhere.

There's just gotta be, gotta be a better world somewhere

I firmly believe there has to be a superior world elsewhere.
