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 a'int gonna flake
Your home is not a hostel but
You gave him the key
Now he's free
He's free

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

Better's what you got
Oh, better's what you got
Better's what you got
You got

Won't tell a soul I'm going in
Won't let momma, momma ask how it went
And I might die not knowing what I was capable of
But I've known love
I've known love, yeah

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

(Better's what you got)

You got a food stamp mom
You're dad's an ex con
But they're all related

(Better's what you got)

Your tombstone sister said your brother's a bum
Cause he's so sedated

(Better's what you got)

Cause better's what I got
