Getting Better
The Twisted Minds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Getting Better
Positive Propaganda

Walking down the street, I met my good ole buddy Willy,
(What's up buddy?)
He told me once more about his so-called shitty life,
(That seemed great to me)
Self pity, defeatism and never self derision
(if everyone were Willy)
No one'd joke, no one'd listen, no one'd take care, of eachother.

I came and tried to explain Willy
How positive life is.
You cannot carry this world!
Either in a good mood or depressed,
Misfortune exists
You just can make it better.

I remember and enjoy the good times like
Last time I saw (write your fave band's name here) ... playing live
Some sing the sorrow
I'd rather pay tribute to happiness!

Ohhh it's getting better
Things are getting better
Ohhh it's getting better
Things are getting better
Ohhh it's getting better
Things are getting better
Ohhh for you, for me!

Since 1982,
Willy've always been getting up and down
The fact is that Willy's you, Willy's me,
Willy's everyone thinking "it's just the way it is"
It's up to you to raise your mess,
and to be the posi one, in this crowd!
Cause will is yours, will is mine,
will's everyone's, every single one!

So please keep the smile




And keep the faith
Pease keep singing along, yo!
