Trevor Simpson - Better Men lyrics

[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
