Better Than Them Lyrics - New Model Army

This is our town, this is Friday night 

Dressed in our rags and our rage and our best 

Piercing eyes looking for something - anything, anyone. 

Stare across the floor as they begin to dance 

Missing all the rhythms and the chosen right steps 

And we laugh and we drink in our corner again 

We're better than them 

Divided we were born, divided we live 

Divided we fall, divided we die 

Still we tell ourselves over and over again 

We're better than them 

With our hunger and our hatred, we all walk this town 

With our fear and our weakness - just holding on 

With our doubt and our emptiness and this cold, cold frown 

We've got to be so important, we'll put the whole damn world down 

And we build the walls that we can hide behind 

And our finest weapon is our poisoned pride 

Here in this town where the jealousies burn 

We're watching you 

'Cause truth is only what we need it to be 

To bring us survival through each and every day 

When nowhere is safe and nowhere is home - just be cool 

And what was she wearing and what did he say? 

Who goes with who and what did they do? 

We tell ourselves over and over again 

We're better than them , we're not like them
