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
