[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

This king of overstatement now

Would like to whisper

Sweet something in your ear all day

From now 'til then

I can't swim for irons on my tail

They want an answer

Hip, hip, hooray, we lose again

Dear God, you can suit yourself!

[Chorus]

Oh, you could be

An amputee

There's gotta be

Something better than...

[Verse 2]

We stink of understatement

We're so over-friendly

More people to latch onto

More ears to bend

And I swam the long route home

And I've got broken shoulders

And hip, hip, hooray, we lose again

Dear God, how do you forgive yourself?

[Chorus]

You could be

An amputee

It wouldn't matter all that much

It wouldn't mean a thing to me

So answer me

Do you believe it's true?

There's gotta be

Something better than...

So don't listen to them

Listen to yourself

We are addicted to ourselves

We leave room for no one else

So answer me

Do you believe it's true?

There's gotta be

Something better than...

[Bridge]

Keep pushing back, and we'll come up roses

Keep pushing back, and we'll come up roses

We're not the same, even though we share a name

So keep pushing back, and you'll come up roses

Keep pushing back, and you'll come up roses

I've heard it all before

Seen it all before

Played this scene before

[Chorus]

Now, you could be

An amputee

It wouldn't matter all that much

It wouldn't mean a thing to me

So answer me

Do you believe it's true?

There's gotta be

Something better than this

[Outro]

But it's nothing to you

But it's nothing to you

No, it's nothing to you

Something better than this

But it's nothing to you

But it's nothing to you

No, it's nothing to you

Something better than this
