<b>Better Days</b> by <i>Mark Lind</i><br />Hanging on the corner by the Main Street laundromat

Frankie's out of prison and he swears he's never going back

Two nights later he's a murderer.

They caught him down the projects hiding at his girl's

Hey there, Frankie. Is this all you've ever known to be?

Davey was a smart kid raised on hate and fear

A highschool dropout, he ain't going anywhere

I ain't see Davey in a lot of days

Last I heard he got put away

Hey Davey. Davey, when you coming back home to me?

God help me cause when I look around

I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days.

Seamus made an effort to get out and beat his name

He found himself a girl and he went West free of shame

The town ain't gonna let him get away

The last I heard he passed away

Seamus, I remember when you used to make us laugh

God help me cause when I look around

I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days.

I think you really ought to know right now

You all had a small impact on me

I think you really ought to know

If it weren't for you then I wouldn't be me

Nathan was a good kid that couldn't seem to find a way

I'd see him from time to time and he'd smile to disguise the pain

One March night he went and took his life

When Julian told me he had tears in his eyes

Hey Nathan. Don't you know your friends all miss your face?

God help me cause when I look around

I see a lot of people that are waiting on better days.
