[Verse 1]
They take their time with it
Pick out their favorite set
Of flaws to use to put the screws to her
Commanding officer, starting lineman, friend from work
Not a mask among the bunch to cause her fright
There was more you could've done
A proper lady doesn't get to have fun
They just lost self-control
You shouldn't have dressed like that
Recycle, reuse, ration out when reduce is the goal
Right?
[Chorus]
We call ourselves better men
As we watch them ruin daughters like that
We're so self-satisfied that we're better than
That we fail, we fail to be better men
[Verse 2]
I've watched friends and former lovers
Make the worst attempts to cover
Battle scars and open wounds
That don't heal the way that we a**ume
Every social implication that leaves friends with indignation
It's a big, dark line from far away
But the closer we get, the more it greys
[Chorus]
We call ourselves better men
As we watch them ruin daughters like that
We're so self-satisfied that we're better than
That we fail we failed to be better men
Yeah, we fail, we fail to be better men
[Bridge]
There was more you could've done
A proper lady doesn't get to have fun
They just lost self-control
You shouldn't have dressed like that
I guess next time you'll know
[Chorus]
We call ourselves better men
As we watch them ruin daughters like that
We're so self-satisfied that we're better than
That we fail, we fail to be better men
We call ourselves better men
As we watch them ruin daughters like that
We're so self-satisfied to be better than
That we fail, we fail to be better men
We fail, we fail to be better men
