Joseph, Better You Than Me Lyrics
Well your eyes just haven’t been the same, Joseph
Are you bad at dealing with the fame, Joseph There’s a pale moonshine above you Do you see both sides, do they shove you around Is the touchstone forcing you to hide, Joseph Are the rumours eating you alive, Joseph When the holy night is upon you Will you do what’s right, the position is yours From the temple walls to the New York night Our decisions rest on a child When she took her stand did she hold your hand Will your faith stand still or run away Run away When they've driven you so far That you think you're gonna drop Do you wish you were back there at the carpenter shop With the plane and the lathe The work never drove you mad You're a maker, a creator Not just somebody's dad From the temple walls to the New York night Our decisions rest on a man When I take the stand When I take the stand Will he hold my hand Will my faith stand still or run away And the desert It's a hell of a place to find heaven Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God And you climb to the top of the mountain Looking down on the city where you were born On the years since you left Gave you time to sit back and reflect Better you than me Better you than me Better you than me Yes Well the holy night is upon you Do you see both sides, do they shove you around Better you than me Joseph Better you than me Joseph Joseph Joseph Joseph Than me Better you than me Better you Better you Better you Than me Well your eyes just haven’t been the same, Joseph

"are the rumors eating you alive," Joseph Smith was hated by a lot of people, and there were a lot of rumors about him...
"from the temple walls to the new york night," they built a lot of temples when he was alive, and he was born and lived most of his life in New York...
"And the desert It's a hell of a place to find heaven Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God" (i know it sounds a lot like Moses but listen to this) Salt Lake City was the desert and that was supposed to be Zion, it also took them 40 years to build the Salt Lake City temple...
it also says about a carpenter, so that's obviously Joseph from the old testiment... i think he's kind of talking about both

"Bad at dealin with the fame" = all the people around bringing gifts to baby jesus and other things. he's not used to all these people around him like a celebrity almost.
"Are the rumors eatin you alive" = he didnt conseive the baby so people are bound to talk....
"When she took her stand did she hold your hand
Will your faith stand still or run away" = Will you stay with Mary, or leave her?
"And the desert
It's a hell of a place to find heaven
Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God" = This is referring to Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt. Not sure how this fits in with Joseph, considering he would have been born yet...
"Better you than me
Joseph" = This is obviously a hard situation to be in so the singers are saying they couldnt handle this much responsibility, and 'good for you Joseph' kind of thing
Great song....at least thats how i take this song.
