No don't say it again
I won't be listening
what you finally decide
I don't care anyhow
Chorus:
it's gonna get better
you say it always get better
I say it better get better now.
Watch you playing your game
try to laugh it away
I don't care what you say
I'm not going insane
Bridge:
Walk your mile - be on time
you can't change - people or pain
who will play and who will stay?
Who wronged who - now you will pay.
Knock knock its you again
I know it means nothing
You think you'll make it all right
I'm just playing tonight

It Always Gets Better - Paco del Stinko
You dropped a dime, I picked it up
And then you whined, like a sick pup
Don't reach out, if you can't reach in
Grow some hair, on your peach skin
It always gets better (In the end)
Nothing lasts forever (Don't get bent)
One day we will be gone (Say goodbye)
And the universe will move on (Don't you cry)
And on and on
You see black, I feel the sun
Your shell is cracked, my world is one
Don't forget, that time erases
We are all ash, and nameless faces
It always gets better (In the end)
Nothing lasts forever (Don't get bent)
One day we will be gone (Say goodbye)
And the universe will move on (Don't you cry)
And on and on
Enjoy your time for - it is fleeting
And your maker - you'll soon be meeting
Try to be kind - try to be nice
Don't take too much - you don't live twice
One day we will be gone (Say goodbye)
And the universe will move on (Don't you cry)
And on and on
You dropped a dime, I picked it up
And then you whined, like a sick pup
Don't reach out, if you can't reach in
Grow some hair, on your peach skin
It always gets better (In the end)
Nothing lasts forever (Don't get bent)
One day we will be gone (Say goodbye)
And the universe will move on (Don't you cry)
And on and on
You see black, I feel the sun
Your shell is cracked, my world is one
Don't forget, that time erases
We are all ash, and nameless faces

And the universe will move on (Don't you cry)

And your maker - you'll soon be meeting
Try to be kind - try to be nice

And the universe will move on (Don't you cry)
And on and on

Re: It Always Gets Better
it always gets better
written and performed by pillar of paprika
in this forest endless,
this castle is mine alone
as it crumbles in silence,
i can no longer call this place home
in the tallest tower on this constant night
i will climb to such fathomless heights
and in the morning i wake
with the taste of blood on my tongue
it always gets better
even if i don’t know what i’ve done
in the tallest tower on this constant night
i will climb to such fathomless heights
in the tallest tower on this constant night
i will climb to such fathomless heights
i’ve never seen anything quite so bright
as the face of the moon on this surface night.

Re: It Always Gets Better
It Always Gets Better
by Jon Eric
You never got to read my letter
In those last few days you had
Because of you know I know it always gets better
Except the last time it gets bad
If someone told me I'd forget her
They set me up for a bad fall
You used to tell me that it always gets better
When it gets anything at all
I don't want to know
Just where
On Earth
You are
No matter where you go
I swear
The dirt
The stars
Any place you're going
Is better when you're there
And suddenly my cheeks are wetter
Than every tissue in the universe
You were the one who said it always gets better
Until the one time it gets worse

Re: It Always Gets Better
BILLY AND THE PSYCHOTICS
You sit in the front of the room
so you can't really see her staring at you
she knows she's walking on thin ice
so when you ask - you don't have to ask twice!
She's walking up the stairs
like she couldn't wait to see you -
like some kinda after-school special,
she smells like candy..melts all over you...
CH
and they say..
it always gets better /
But they don't know you,
and they don't know me..
so really, who knows these things?
She wants to get serious,
but this can't be real
You don't know how she does not know
you can't tell people how you feel
You kiss her eyes knowing faintly later
they'll be crying
she doesn't know this is the last time
but she doesn't know it,
so she's smiling

Re: It Always Gets Better
Berkeley Social Scene
You think you are different than the rest
you have the answers so you won’t take the test
You think you’re clever and you know best
It takes so little just to feel impressed
You can wait around for years
until the whole thing disappears
Hide in your room, hide like a leper
but it always gets better
The joke is on you
you always thought you knew
a special kind of kung fu
that doesn’t need review
You can wait around for years
until the whole thing disappears
Hide in your room, hide like a leper
but it always gets better
Did you find the rock at the bottom?
Hold onto to it until it was rotten?
Once everything you have is forgotten
The days fade like the start of autumn
You can wait around for years
until the whole thing disappears
Hide in your room, hide like a leper
but it always gets better
You think you are different than the rest

Re: It Always Gets Better
For Bossy Bill Heuristics, here are the words by THE TINY PAWS OF FURY
It always gets better
When you leave the room
When you leave the room
We invite you to parties
so you will leave
And lift the gloom
You’re not in with the in crowd
You’re left out by the out crowd
You can’t be an outsider
Outsiders leave you outside the
Outside...
It always gets better
Once you’re not around
When you’re not around
We tell you your party’s
In a different town
We never get down
CHORUS
And if your mother told you
It always gets better
When you are yourself
She was lying to you
You as yourself
Is bad for our health
It always gets better
When you leave the room
When you leave the room
We invite you to parties
so you will leave
And lift the gloom
You’re not in with the in crowd
You’re left out by the out crowd
You can’t be an outsider
Outsiders leave you outside the
Outside...
It always gets better
Once you’re not around
When you’re not around
We tell you your party’s
In a different town
We never get down
CHORUS
And if your mother told you
It always gets better
When you are yourself
She was lying to you
You as yourself
Is bad for our health

Re: It Always Gets Better
Longfellow Street
It always gets better when I'm acting the fool (actin' the fool, actin' the fool)
I can do what I like, ain't got no need to be cool (you don't need to be cool)
I can play tiny instruments like uke and kazoo
Yeah it always gets better when I'm actin' the fool (actin' the fool, actin' the fool)
It always gets better (always gets better)
It always gets better (always gets better)
When I'm actin' the fool
It always gets better when there's no one around
Get naked in the mirror and turn up the sound
No God above can judge me when I'm gettin' down
It always gets better when no one's around
It always gets better (always gets better)
It always get better (always gets better)
When there's no one around
* If you wanna hear this verse, flip the recording, I ain't printing what Ryan wrote here
*
It always gets better after takin' a shower
Have a splash, have a shave, maybe spend a good hour
I have so much power when I smell like a flower
It always gets better after takin' a shower
It always gets better
It always gets better
After takin' a shower
It always gets better when you take me to bed
When I'm tired of the voices screamin' in my head
You take me upstairs and make me happy instead
It always gets better when you take me to bed
It always gets better
It always gets better (always gets better)
When you take me to bed
It always gets better when I'm acting the fool (actin' the fool, actin' the fool)
