Yesterday we lost a life
And we say, "what, another one?"
No one cares, so why should I
So we go right on having fun
Yet who knows what tomorrow brings, yeah
Take a look at what the future holds
Broken lives and shattered dreams
More to come I'm being told
We're living in such a mean world
Glad I'm headed for a better place
Come on, why not meet me there
To miss all this would be a waste
We're living in such a mean world
Glad I'm headed for a better place
Oh, yeah, headed for a better place
We talk about a better world

Headed straight for no return, yeah
Only hope is from above
We're living in such a mean world
I'm headed for a better place, yes, I am
So come on, why not meet me there
To miss all this would be a waste
We're living in such a mean world, yes, we are
Glad I'm headed for a better place
Said, yes, I am, yes, I am
I'm headed for a better place, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah
Headed for a better place
(Better accommodations)
Yes, we are
A better place
(No more racial tension)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, a better place
(Previous song I mentioned)
I said a better place
(Heaven is what I live for)
That's right, a better place
Don't you know I'm going, y'all
Hey, I said a better place
Look, wait
Wait, one more thing, before I go
What, BeBe?
You've been invited to a better place
A better place
Yeah, yeah
I'm going, yeah
It's a B-E-T-T-E-R P-L-A-C-E...
