He's a special little kid
Born on accident, raised by a fist
But in a little twist
Of fate he makes his name well known
When he runs from home

You know you can do better
You know you can do better than that
You know you can do better
Cause better's what you got

Don't tell the loner he's a fake
Don't hold your breath that he aint gonna flake
You're home is not a hostel but
You gave him the key (A)
Now he's free

Won't tell a soul I'm going in
Won't let momma ask how it went
I might die not knowing what I was capable of
But I've known love

You know you can do better
You know you can do better than that
You know you can do better
Cause better's what you got

You got a food stamp mom
You're dad's an ex con
But they're all related
Your tombstone sister said your brother's a bum
Cause he's so sedated
