There Must Be A Better Way
Paycheck came this evening
It's Friday afternoon
This bottle Lord will last until
At least tomorrow noon
The children watch and wonder as
He sips his life away
I'm here to ask you people
Ain't there a better way
Mother is a member of the local PTA
Place bridge and drinks martinis with
The girls on Saturday
A little nip for breakfast gets
Mama on her way i'm here to tell you people
That there must be a better way
They rush home every Sunday
Right after Sunday School
Just enough to teach the kids
About the golden rule
As they rush home to the bottle
You can hear the children say
Oh Lord, oh Lord up in Heaven
Won't you show me a better
Got to be a better
There must be a better way
