Ballad of The Better Man

The soldier dies,
On the western front
A bullet goes
Straight through his brain
His brother shot
Him, from across the line
Oh, how he wanna be 
A better man.

His mama cried 
Silent tears of grief
Some angel turned 
The other way
His papa lived
But did not anymore
Say," I wanna him
Be a better man"

The alleyway pimp
Hides in the woods
A fox welps
He screams out loud
Some hounds bark
Rip his guts up
If only he
Were a better man

The bishop walks 
Through the brothel road
Crushes a flower 
Pull out some fog
A soul is dead 
On a cold river
The water cries
For a better man.

The God strolls
The streets of the land
The night is cold
A baby wails
Oh how he made
Another Frankenstein
The God wants
To be the better man.
