I Can Do Better

Un Mondo per Noi (Synth-Pop)


Daddy wanted me to work in the factory
Same shift he worked, the same old wage
Told him nothing doing, saw something cross his face
Like I'd just told him his whole life was a waste

Jenny married Tommy from the grocery store
Her mother cried with joy, said she couldn't ask for more
But Jenny's sister took a bus to someplace out of state
Now the family doesn't mention her, just sets an empty plate

Can't go back through yesterday's doors
Even if I wanted to, they don't open anymore
Gotta move forward to what the future has in store
Can't go back through yesterday's doors

Our Pastor’s son went to college back in '62
Came home talking about things we never knew
His daddy asked him to pray with him, the boy refused
Now they don't speak at services, just sit in separate pews
]
My mother irons father's shirts every night
Been doing it for twenty years, says it's only right
But my sister says she's never touching an iron in her life
Says there's gotta be more than being somebody's wife

Can't go back through yesterday's doors
Even if I wanted to, they don't open anymore
Gotta move forward to what the future has in store
Can't go back through yesterday's doors

Can't go back through yesterday's doors
Even if I wanted to, they don't open anymore
Gotta move forward to what the future has in store
Can't go back through yesterday's doors


It's Not Unusual
