Bound to Get Better Video (MV)

Outside my door is a battle field
Everyday I feel like I'm at war
Put on my straight face and go outside
Sunglasses down to shield me from my enemies
No not a word to the passers by
Like momma said
"Don't talk to strangers
If you know what's good for you"
On guard and forward 'till I'm safe from the crowds
And the chaos and the words better left unsaid

Over and over I tell my friends
That it's not getting any worse
But deep inside I tell myself something else
Over and over I tell my friends
That things are bound to get better
But in my heart I tell myself something else

I turned on my T.V. set last night
Always something on to bring me down
So I turned it off and went into the kitchen
Poured myself a cup of mate
And sat down to write this song
Thought about the starving children in America
And I thought about the people who walk by
And don't give a damn at all
Then we wonder why we can't turn our backs on our neighbors
Without fearing for our lives

Over and over I tell my friends
That it's not getting any worse
But deep inside I tell myself something else
Over and over I tell my friends
That things are bound to get better
But in my heart I tell myself something else

Let's say goodbye to the hunger
And bye to the hatred
That we've all been taking in stride
Say goodbye to the violence
Bye to the anger
That we've all been feeling inside

Over and over I tell my friends
That it's not getting any worse
But deep inside I tell myself something else
Over and over I tell my friends
That things are bound to get better
But in my heart I tell myself something else
