Lyrics
it’s better than before
she says she wants more
he gives all he can
but she says she can’t stand him anymoreshe bets on her life
that he will never understand her right
as broken hearts fall on the floor
even though this time he was better than beforehe has to try hard
to be someone she won’t give up on
he threw down his best card
and he prayed but it let him downtoo bad there’s a thing called time
when hand’s broke and the other hand’s tied
time passes by faster than planned
improve your actions while you canI’ve got an average life
same problems and same kinds
and if you want to go universal
then you’ve got to go personaltoo bad there’s a thing called time
Lyrics by Brad Johnson
when hand’s broke and the other hand’s tied
improve your actions while you can
time passes by faster than planned

Song Notes
– Better Than Before was the last song on Is This For Real.
– It’s not 100% clear but if memory serves, this song was written about a high school love interest for Brad that never went anywhere.
– After the end of Better Than Before, a second instrumental composition follows. This ‘song’ is titled No Dope and was a rather loud and aggressive composition that band had written prior to recording the album. No Dope begins around the six and a half minute mark of the track.
