    Story Behind the Song
    We wanted to write a song that showed our sense of humor (which is usually hidden behind layers of gloom and doom) because it is a major part of how we write music. We look at this as a new beginning and at the same time a reinvestigation of our roots. This track is also the first track that we wrote with our newest member Victor, so it's only fitting that he threw in a bit of Spanish to show our new dynamic. We will be releasing this as a maxi single in August and have lined up some pretty great remixers. We hope you like it.

    Lyrics
    Better Than You

    They say that it's the latest craze
    like it hasn't all been done before
    I'm sick of hearing all those pretty boys
    as they regurgitate the same old thing
    (over and over)

    Reality, escaped the boardroom down at MTV
    What matters most are all the ads you'll sell
    if you've got the hottest ass on TRL
    (well, well, well)

    I'm nothing special,
    but at least I know I'm better than you
    I'm less than perfect,
    but at least I know I'm better than you... for sure

    (I know I'm better than you yeah
    la la la la la la la la
    da digity da di da dill da
    blah blah di blah di blah blah blah blah)

    So hey you're new to the scene,
    but you already cruise 'round in a limousine
    I guess that means we're gonna see you soon
    on every magazine from here to the moon

    They'll praise you as the next big thing
    with a face that's sure to make the masses swoon
    It doesn't matter dear that you can't sing
    yeah baby that's why they made auto-tune

    I'm nothing special,
    but at least I know I'm better than you
    No, I'm not perfect,
    but at least I know I'm better than you... for sure

    I'm better... I'm better than you... I'm better...
    sit down mother fucker 'cause I'm better than you yeah!
    (Yo soy tu superior
    lo que tu haces
    yo lo hago mejor)

    I'm nothing special,
    but at least I know I'm better than you
    No, I'm not perfect,
    but at least I know I'm better than you
    I'm nothing special,
    but at least I know I'm better than you
    I'm less than perfect
    but at least I know I'm better than you... yeah
