Lyrics
Once I had it all planned out
Once I had a detailed plan for my life.
My dirty fingers moved about
My hands, tainted or impure, were actively involved.
to make a mess of everything around me
I created chaos in my surroundings.
Now I don't claim to know my way
I don't assert that I understand the right path.
I still run in circles every day,runnin' around half blind
I still find myself repeating mistakes daily, in a state of confusion.
Life can be unkind
Life can be harsh and difficult.
But it's better than it was
Despite challenges, the current situation is an improvement.
It's better than it was
Reiterating the positive change from the past.
Oh, I complain very little because
I rarely complain because of the improvement.
it's better than it was
Emphasizing the positive contrast to the past.
I get to remembering we
Recalling a time when we had more financial stability.
had a lot more money then
We had abundant resources but misused them.
to make a mess of everything around us
Similar to the past, chaos surrounded us.
Now that money comes and goes
Money comes and goes rapidly.
a bit faster than my confidence grows
Confidence grows slower than the rate of financial changes.
Everybody knows
Highlighting the universal nature of financial struggles.
there ain't nothin' new about money woes
Acknowledging the commonality of money-related issues.
But it's better than it was
Despite financial challenges, the present is an improvement.
It's better than it was
Reaffirming the positive change from the past.
It's better than it was
Emphasizing the ongoing improvement.
It's better than we ever could have wished it to before
The current state is better than what we had hoped for in the past.
It was bad awhile ago,better this I know
Past difficulties were severe, but the present is better.
It's better than it was,
Reiterating the positive change from the past.
Better than it was
Stressing the ongoing improvement.
I complain very little because it's better than it was
Complaints are minimal due to the positive change.
Better than it was
Reaffirming the ongoing improvement.
Better than it was
Emphasizing the ongoing positive change.
Better than it was
Continuing to highlight the positive contrast to the past.
