Lyrics

I Know Better
 
What's in the headlines or who's in the breadlines
What lives in the corners of my mind
Piled up to the top of the skyline
I'll never get that high
 
Wandering aimless, I know I ain't blameless
I've just come to tame this thing called life
Suddenly I'm sure I am shameless
Hit me with the light
 
I know better but it doesn't seem to matter
I know better but it doesn't seem to matter
 
Stand in the stage light or walk in the daylight
Or sit by the firelight alone
Any hour or any day might
Be my only one
 
I know better but it doesn't seem to matter
I know better but it doesn't seem to matter
 
Off in the distance or right here for instance
Lives all the wisdom for the night
I've lost some now I know I will win some
Hit me with the light
 
I know better but it doesn't seem to matter
I know better but it doesn't seem to matter
