Better – The Honeysticks & Ricky Montgomery

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

Doomsday’s coming but
I can’t be bothered with stuff like that
I’m thinking, I’m praying, I’m doing the best that I can to help
Without a “thank you” at all

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb-bomb
Waiting around for that fat man
With a pistol in my hand
You got me blue, baby
Let’s talk about something else

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

Getting warmer
And every day I get a little bit older
So they ask me, they say, “Ricky, what do you think about everything that’s happening all the time?”
I say, “It makes no difference to me
If the ocean comes up to my knees
I’ll wear a wet suit while sipping my tea
Whatever will be will be
Like it should be”

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

This is a new beginning
A beginning to yet another day
And another one
And another
A beginning starts with a “yes”
Or one that starts with a simple “no”

If your heart gets broken, be less in love
If you don’t know who you are, be someone else
If you think you’re depressed, cheer up
It’s so easy to be happy

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better

You can make it better, you can make it better
You can make it better, you can make it better, better, better
