A Better Life - Lyrics - Jackson United

Jackson United is an American punk rock band formed by singer and lead guitarist Chris Shiflett in 2003. Shiflett recruited his older brother Scott Shiflett and Pete Parada to complete the band. A debut eponymous EP was recorded and released in 2003. Shortly after this release Parada left the band. He was replaced by Cary Lascala, and the group was then further expanded with the addition of a rhythm guitarist, Doug Sangalang.

Stop, ttake a moment and sit down Right here next to me Did you ever imagine As good as this could be Breathe deeper than that now Let the ocean air fill your lungs Smell the flowers in the back yard Don't worry about getting stung 'cause we're in the good times now Laugh like you don't know how 'cause we're in the good times Stress to distress for nothing But the sake of a good complaint the drama of the instant Gets lost in some good restraint Dim your lights now, for a moment And try to bring it down a bit Be careful what you wish for 'cause you can get lost in it 'cause we're in the good times now Don't act like you don't know how 'cause we're in the good times Hey going to a better life and we go 'cause we're in the good times now Laugh like you won't allow 'cause we're in the good times
