The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Sunshine velvet underground

You can't keep a good man down

Things are getting better

Always getting better

Microwaves and ieds

Happy meals and halloween

Things are getting better

Always getting better

Things are getting better

Better late than never

Things are getting better

All the time

I am somebody's brother

Somebody's son

I am somebody's only one

I am somebody's sucker

And somebody's fear

I am somebody's shakespeare

But I am not here

Shopping malls and paradise

Just keep your eyes

Your eyes on the prize

Things are getting better

Always getting better

Sunsets on tv, home runs

Ex-girlfriends and kids with guns

Things are getting better

Always getting better

Things are getting better

Better late than never

Things are getting better

All the time

I am somebody's brother

Somebody's son

I am somebody's only one

I am somebody's sucker

And somebody's queer

I am somebody's shakespeare

But I am not here

I am somebody's brother

Somebody's son

I am somebody's only one

I am somebody's sucker

And somebody's fear

I am somebody's shakespeare

I am somebody's Jesus

And somebody's gun

I am somebody's seven billion

I am somebody's judas

Somebody's queer

I am somebody's last year

But I am not here

I am not here
