Better Place
Tasha's got a room at the county shelter The cops took her there when her mama got hauled away Little brother and her can't even stay together She cries each night wondering why it's gotta be this way And she says "I wish I was anyone but me" Yeah she'd pack her life in a heartbeat for a little change of scenery And she keeps looking for a better place Somewhere she can wear a smile upon her face A home to welcome with a warm embrace There's no way to disguise her lonely eyes Looking for a better place Bobby's doing time in youth detention Pulled a switch blade knife on some boy making fun at school And all he wanted was a little attention And a temporary escape from the ridicule And now he's in real deep with the freaks and the criminals And he wonders when his time is up if he'll know himself at all And he keeps dreaming of a better place Somewhere he can have a little room to make mistakes A home to help him wash the past away Oh he don't need too much, just a little love In a better place Letras de cancionesIn a better place Jamie's got a room in a 3-story brick home Daddy makes a lotta money, mama keeps her laundry clean And she's got a $200 Abercrombie outfit on Drives a brand new car that she got when she turned 16 Still she spends every night getting high with her so-called friends And she's dropping hundred dollar bills on quarterbags, says she's never coming down again And she keeps looking for a better place Failing to realize how good she's got it made Her loving home, she don't appreciate Oh it's crazy but it's true, she doesn't have a clue She's living in a better place In a better place In a better place We're all lookin for a better place From Letras Mania
