I look at you, then you me
Hungry and thirsty I wait
Holding the lion's share
Holding the key
Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be

Better than you
Better than you (Jason)
Better than you
Better than you (Jason)

Lock horns, I push and I strive
Some how I feel more alive
Bury the need for it
Bury the seed
Bury me deep when there's no will to be

Better than you
Better than you (Jason)
Better than you
Better than you (Jason)

Oh, can't stop this train from rollin'
Oh, nothing brings me down
No, can't stop this train from rollin', no, no, no, no, no,
No, no, forever only no...

(solo 1)

Oh, can't stop this train from rollin'
Oh, you can't take it down
No, never stop this locomotion, no, no, no, no, no, no,
No, you can't bring it down 'cause I'm

Better Than You
Better Than You (Jason)
Better Than You
Better Than You (Jason)
Oooh Better Than You
Better Than You (Jason)
Better Than You
Better Than You (Jason)
Much Better Than You

Better Than You
Better Than You (Jason)
Oh Better Than You
Better Than You (Jason)
Better Than You
Better Than You (Jason)
Better Than
Better Than
Better Than
Better Than You

(solo 2)

Can't stop this train from rollin'

Forever on and on and on
Forever on and on, on

Better Than You
Yeah
Better Than You

    General Comment:I believe this song is simply an awesome "fuck you" to all the morons who whine about metallica's sound after the first four albums..the guys are basically saying, you can talk trash and disrespect us all you want, but at the end of the day, we will still be BETTER THAN YOU! Sorry, truth hurts lol

    General Comment:i like this song a lot. to me, it means that you just won't let someone else dictate your life because they don't agree with you. you're better than them obviously and they can fuck off if they don't agree.

    General Comment:And what reason have you to suspect "EvilLawyer" of lying, "Cleveland Steamer"? The story seems perfectly believable. Anyways, yeah, the song seems to be describing the human nature to survive over others. Interesting to note, this song won a Grammy award for best metal performance...
