It's gonna get worse before it gets better I wrote it down in a love letter Sang it for you I know that love is the only redeemer Everything else is just a make believer Everything else How can you say you?ll change when you're gripping the knife When you're dressed in forms of a previous life Won?t you lay down your sword Your shield and your pride Just ride in the river, crashin? on rock Comin? up for air or just floating along We're all shaped like driftwood All you got to do is find some truth and see it through Even the words that I learned from my father Are shining a light in the face of the darkness Shining a light I know what I need and I already have it You think it's the money I've already spent it You think it's for glory I?ll only regret it The story you sold I already forget it I'm paying the rent, my head?s above water What drove the wheel is the weight we are under Tell me how and why we're not bothered How and why Now some go kicking, some willing lay down Most already live with both feet in the ground Some won?t let go. Some won?t leave home Some find it easier if they just don't know And all we got to do is keep kicking the door until the light shines through It's gonna get worse but its gonna get better say it out loud and you'll always remember It's gonna get worse, its gonna get better It's gonna get worse but its gonna get better It's gonna get worse but its gonna get better It's gonna get worse, its gonna get better I get worse, I get better
