Better Life Lyrics
My old neighborhood of Seaside by the Seashore
It’s run-down and decrepit and dirty and poor
Much like I used to be
But no longer, you see
Like a phoenix from the ashes
I rose up into me!
I’m a self-made man
I’m an entrepreneur
Gonna brag a little bit
‘Cause I made it so far
I got dollars in my whiskers
I got dollars in my ears
I got dollars in my bloomers
I got dollars in my tears
My money runs deep like a meg in the sea
Like a foreign emissary, you can’t come after me
All my real-estate movers know I say: Get rent!
Got more diamonds than a rock mine
Got more stakes than a tent
(spoken)
I know what you’re thinking
How does this apply to me?
(sung)
You gotta change yourself
You gotta un-strange yourself
(Strive for a better life)
A better li-li-li-li-life
A better li-li-li-li-life
You gotta make yourself
Or else you’re gonna break yourself
(Strive for a better life)
A better life, a better life
A better li-li-li-li-life
A better life, a better life
Look at that face
We can hide that chin
I can loan you this hat
It was made in Berlin
Try these trousers on, they are made out of wool
By a sherpa on Mount Everest who spins yarn like a fool
What I’m starting to see is a fine young sir
Who can walk the streets and conquer the world
One more thing that would help a gator out
This suit and tie make it clear, no doubt!
You gotta change yourself (Oh yeah)
You gotta un-strange yourself
(Strive for a better life)
A better li-li-li-li-life
A better li-li-li-li-life
You gotta make yourself
Or else you’re gonna break yourself
(Strive for a better life)
A better life, better life
A better li-li-li-li-life
A better life, better life
From where I stand (Where I stand)
On my perch in all this land
I see a lost young man
Who needs to make a plan
And if you hear me
Let me know you understand!
You gotta make yourself
(Strive for a better life)
Don’t break yourself, break yourself, yeah
Strive for a better life
Better li-li-li-li-life
Yeah, yeah
Break yourself
Get it, get it
Yeah!
