Chancellorpink: Still Life Self Portrait

10 The Better World

(Chancellorpink)
Music & Lyrics by Raymond G. McLaughlin, Copyright © 2002, 2010

all the bright ideas
the passion in this play
and all the bold romantics
swept away
i guess this world has nothing left to say

grab your Mrs. and kiss your son
cause the better world's coming on

she's a power monger
she wants to grind me down
give a bad salute
and close my eyes
at least i'll see my mommy when i die

burn away the makeup
and turn away the goons
cause all the pretty faces
are cartoons
and all the castle walls are crumbling too

drop your cell phone and clean your slate
cause there's nothing more to debate
grab your Mrs. and kiss your son
cause the better world's coming on

here it comes
(over by the water)

would you like to see the better world?
can you make it on the other side?
would you like to see the better world?
hope to see you on the other side
would you like to see the better world?
try to make it to the other side
would you like to see the better world?
hope i see you on the other side
