You Should Have Known Better

[Verse]
Once I heard a story of a man
Trying to get rid of a huge pile of sand
So this hard working man took a shovel in his hand
And he dug a deep (Deep) hole down (down in the ground)

And he felt so good, and he felt so proud
And he felt so good
Until the moment that he turned around
He'd never noticed that a new pile of sand
Had grown behind the back of this hard working man

So he had to start all over again
With the same result, the same old plan
Nothing ever changes when you take with one hand
What you give away with the other

[Pre-Chorus]
Falling flat on your face with your hands full of dirt
And your mouth full of poor excuses
You're a loser playing their game
As they're making up the rules along the way
Don't make me laugh, don't make me cry
Don't ask me why I can't accept your alibi

[Chorus]
You, you should've known better
Yeah you (Yeah you)
You should've known so much better
(Than to end up being no better)

No better than the politicians (No better)
No better than the other fucking fools
Until you throw it away, and try to find another way
To make it all better you'll be heading the same old way

[Bridge]
You should've known better
You close your eyes as you keep on digging
As you lose your eyes as you keep on digging

[Pre-Chorus]
Falling flat on your face with your hands full of dirt
And your mouth full of poor excuses
You're a loser playing their game
As they're making up the rules along the way
Don't make me laugh, don't make me cry
Don't ask me why I can't accept your alibi

[Chorus]
You, you should've known better
Yeah you (Yeah you)
You should've known so much better
(Than to end up being no better)

No better than the politicians (No better)
No better than the other fucking fools
Until you throw it away, and try to find another way
To make it all better you'll be heading the same old way
