Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I look at you, then you, me
Hungry and thirsty are we
Holding the lion's share, holding the key
Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be
[Verse 2]
Better than you (Better than you)
Better than you (Better than you)
[Verse 3]
Lock horns, I push and I strive
Somehow I feel more alive
Bury the need for it, bury the seed
Bury me deep when there's no will to be
[Verse 4]
Better than you (Better than you)
Better than you (Better than you)
[Verse 5]
Can't stop this train from rolling
Nothing brings me down
No, I can't stop this train from rolling on and on, on
Forever on and on
[Verse 6]
Can't stop this train from rolling
You can't take it down
No, never stop this locomotion, on and on and on
No, no, you can't bring me down 'cause I'm
[Verse 7]
Better than you (Better than you)
Better than you (Better than you)
Better than you (Better than you)
Better than you (Better than you)
Much better than you
[Verse 8]
Better than you (Better than you)
Better than you (Better than you)
Better than you (Better than you)
Better than you
[Verse 9]
Can't stop this train from rolling
Forever on and on and on and on and on
Forever on and on, on
[Verse 10]
Better than you
Better than you
