Lyrics for Better Than You as interpreted by fennsk

Better Than You Lyrics
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

My band played this song my senior year at a football game against our rival school. It was totally unplanned (The Principle thought we were gonna play something slow and soft), and we got into huge trouble, but it was worth it to see the crowd go wild and the other team get really really pissed off.

It's about a comparison of someone to somebody.

Human nature at its finest. Hell, nature's nature at its finest. Survival of the fittest (bury me deep when there's no will to be better than you). Animals, humans included, are competitive. Insect hives maintain only one matriarch, maintaining control. Even young animals like puppies wrestle to establish an order to things.

Is there anyway to get that performance on tape, EvilLawyer?

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...

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.

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
