I'd arrest you if i had handcuffs I'd arrest you if i had the time I'd throw you down in the back seat As if you'd commited a terrible crime
I'd break in a town's worth of houses And rob whole families blind I'd do it to you like you do it to me If you knew you would get away fine
I'd drown all these crying babies If I knew that their mothers wouldn't cry I'd hold them down and I'd squeeze real soft To let a piece of myself die
It's hard to be the better man When you forget you're trying It's hard to be the better man
I'd arrest you if I had handcuffs I'd arrest you if I had time I'd wait for you outside the courtroom And taunt you when all your appeals were declined
I'd drive my car off of the bridge If I knew that you weren't inside With a pedal to the floor who could ask for more a fantastic way to kill some time
You could lay on your back and be beaten You could put up your fists and fight You could try and be way up Way up way up way up Way up way up way up Way up
It's hard be the better man When you forget you're trying It's hard to be the better man When you're still lying It's hard to be the better man When you forget you're trying It's hard to be the better man When you're still lying You're still lying
