everything is better now

everything is better now

better than is was before

sunshine on a golden bough

darkness locked behind closed door

now i found a better place

somewhere i can lay my head

clean fresh air and open space

safe upon my feather bed

i've been a mistake maker

for all of my days

and a law breaker

but crime never pays

an overtaker

on lifes highways

a serial faker

making getaways

i've been a mover and a groover

in the halls of power

a real bad loser

in my darkest hour

a high seas cruiser

searching tropical flowers

a pick and chooser

in an ivory tower

now i'm a man of peace

with a hungry soul

for i found release

in a lost loophole

i'm the materpiece

who just scored the goal

let the love increase

now i'm in control
