Once I had it all planned out My dirty fingers moved about To make a mess of everything around me I don't claim to know my way I still run in circles everyday Running around half blind Life can be unkind But it's better than it was It's better than it was I complain very little because It's better than it was I get to remembering We had a lot more money then To make a mess of everything around us Now the money comes and goes a bit faster Then my confidence grows Everybody knows There ain't nothing new about money woes But it's better than it was It's better than it was It's better than it was It's better than we ever could have Wished it to before It was bad a while ago Better this I know It's better than it was Better than it was I complain very little because It's better than it was Better than it was Better than it was Better than it was
