Transpose chords:
Life is not a spark in space,
an episode of will and grace
controversial yet mundane,
Deborah's messing with your brain.
Even scientologists know there's more to all of this,
search the ruins for trapped doors, wonder what you're put here for.
Simple as a hint of gas climbing nostrils as you pass,
making Harvard graduates feel childish when they laugh at it.
Climb the rungs to kingdom come, sour patch to acid tongue,
are you opposed to having fun? You clench the world between your buns.
Chorus 1:
You could do better, you could do better,
you could be the greatest man in the world.
You could do better, you could do better,
you could be the greatest man in the world.
Verse 2:
Your life is always the post of something else...
Where is the present in the way that you present yourself?
And it's disgusting how little that you try,
the existential equivalence of pink eye.
Drink alone and watch TV, you're expecting harmony,
statap your tune with silver spoons and the loving pending doom.
Guiding satan's steady hand, forcing Beatles to disband.
It's ego freaks and drama queens, the young at heart know what I mean.
Chorus 2:
You could do better, you could do better,
you could be the greatest man in the world.
You could do better, you could do better,
you could be the greatest man in the world.
You could do better, better than that, you're a fraud.
Thank god you learned to keep your shirt on.
You could do better, you could do better,
you could be the greatest man in the world.
You burn so brightly,
you burn so brightly in the dark.
You burn so brightly,
you burn so, you burn so.
Chorus 3/End:
You could do better, you could do better,
you could be the greatest man in the world.
You could do better, you could do better,
you could be the greatest man in the world.
You could do better, better than that, you're a fraud.
Thank god you learned to keep your shirt on.
You could do better, you could do better,
you could be the greatest man in the world.
You could do better, you could do better,
you could be the greatest man in the world.
We could do better, we could do better,
we could be the greatest band in the world.

About this song: Do Better
Frontman Max Bemis told Alternative Press (Source Do Better Songfacts): "This is a song I wrote later on in the writing process. It's about the recognition that we live in a flawed society. I wrote the lyrics first. They were a criticism about myself and, like, this really negative song. What I realized when I finally finished the lyrics is that I had overcome a lot of the things that I was making fun of about myself, and that to write a song about those things would be a novelty or sort of typical Say Anything act - to make a negative, self-deprecating song.
