The Rebel Black Dot Song o' Being a Better Man

The Littlest Man Band, "Better Man" from Better Book Ends (The Last Angry Man)

Commentary:
"I'm not the sharpest shard of glass
From this broken window,
But there's a few things that I've learned
That you might want to know:
That misery is a talent you can hone
And sorrow is a product we all can't wait to own.

"But I'm just trying to be
A better man.

"Flesh and blood cover the statues on the street,
They'll treat you like a friend,
But they'll stare at you like fresh meat,
And the porcelain teeth
That smile in your face
Can't wait for you to fall so they can take your place.

"But I'm just trying to be
A better man,
Yeah, I'm just trying to be
A better man.

"Lie and cheat your friends
While you still have time,
And downplay the drama
While you figure out a clever rhyme,
And smile with a semi-sympathetic tone,
Can't appreciated good friends until you find you're all alone.

"But I'm just trying to be
A better man,
Yeah, I'm just trying to be
A better man."
