Something Better lyrics

[Jim]
I wake up each day and wonder what for
It seems to me there must be something more
Something more than stacks of dishes
And washing this old floor

If I had my pick of wishes
I'd wish me out that door
'Cause I'm hungry for adventure
And I'm fed up with this grind

If I don't get some adventure soon
I'm gonna lose my mind
I want a life that's filled with thrills
That's wild and free

There's gotta be something better
Something better
There's gotta be something better than this for me

[Jim]
I look around here and I want to cry

[Rizzo]
"Aw, me too"

[Jim]
I feel like the world is passing me by

[Gonzo]
"It is!"

[Jim]
And I just can't help but wonder
Am I doomed to wash and dry
And is it a curse I'm under
To do it till I die

[Gonzo]
"Well, I hope not."

[Rizzo]
"Yeah..."

[Jim]
When I could be an explorer

[Gonzo] "Sure you could!"

[Jim] Sailing off to distant lands

[Rizzo] "Not so fast"

[Jim] Instead of spending every afternoon
Just getting dish pan hands
My future looks like nowhere that I want to be
There's gotta be something better
Something better
There's gotta be something better than this for me

[Gonzo]
Well, now your talkin'!
If its weird and wild let's go and find it
The crazier the better is what I say

[Rizzo]
Yeah, that's true
To tell the truth I really wouldn't mind it

[Gonzo]
Mind what?

[Rizzo]
If we find someplace with ten square meals a day

[Jim/Gon]
Let danger call my name

[Rizzo]
If it does I'm gonna hide

[Jim] I'll put my courage to the test

[Gonzo]
And I'll be my your side

[Rizzo]
We'll be by your side

[Jim]
There's gotta be something better than this

[Gon/Riz]
Something more than this

[Jim]
I know there's so much out there to see
And I know this life I'm living can be my destiny

[All]
There's gotta be something better
Something better

[Jim]
There's gotta be something better than this for me

[Gonzo]
And me!

[Rizzo]
Wait a minute, what about me?

[All]
There's something better than this for you and me
