Better Than That

If these are the best minds of my generation,
then it's a desolate time but I won't believe it.
if there's nothing at all but cynical fools,
then we've all grown old before our time.

But I know we can do better than that.
I know that we can do much better than that.
I know things are better than that
better than that.

Where are the best minds of my generation?
Hiding in fear of judgement by the masses.
If everything to know is shown on the television,
then we're heading towards a shining world of nothing.

But I know we can do better than that.
I know that we can do much better than that.
I know things are better than that
better than that.

They're not the best minds of my generation
who speak about loss and leave the world nothing.
If heroes are men addicted and convicted,
then I guess the world is better off without them.
