It's Better

It's better to be dumb,
Than smart and fall apart.
Have meat and potatoes,
Than starve for your art.
It's better to let her
Than fall in the dark.
With every day better,
Here comes my part, my part, my part...
It's better to be alone,
Than lonely in the dark.
Watch ten thousand movies,
And learn all the parts.
Fight with the mike (?)
End it deep in the can(?)
Make peace with my mattress
And be where I am, I am , I am...
If you want to know me,
Then flip through my scars
Be soft with your language,
So the rain doesn't start
And if I do better,
I'll smile at myself
'Cause you got to kill me,
Like nobody else.
It's better to know someone,
And walk through the door
Make friends with the actors
And smile 'til you're full
It's better to eat poor,
And have peace of mind
Don't ask questions,
Accept what you'll find, you'll find, you'll find...
If you want to know me,
Then flip through my scars
Be soft with your language,
So the rain doesn't start
And if I do better,
I'll smile at myself
'Cause you got to kill me,
Like nobody else.
