Lyrics

I look at you, then you, me Hungry and thirsty are we Holding the lion's share, holding the key Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be Better than you Better than you Lock horns, I push and I strive Somehow I feel more alive Bury the need for it, bury the seed Bury me deep when there's no will to be Better than you Better than you Can't stop this train from rolling Nothing brings me down No, can't stop this train from rolling on and on, on Forever on and on Can't stop this train from rolling You can't take it down No, never stop this locomotion, on and on and on No, you can't bring me down 'cause I'm Better than you Better than you
