Joseph, Better You Than Me (Feat. Elton John, Neil Tennant)
Brandon Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph Are you bad at dealing with the fame, Joseph? There's a pale moonshine above you Do you see both sides? Do they shove you around?
Elton Is the touchstone forcing you to hide, Joseph? Are the rumours eating you alive, Joseph?
Brandon When the holy night is upon you Will you do what's right? The position is yours
Elton From the temple walls to the New York night Our decisions rest on a child When she took her stand Did she hold your hand? Will your faith stand still or run away? Run away
When they've driven you so far That you think you're gonna drop Do you wish you were back there at the carpenter shop?
Neil With the plane and the lathe The work never drove you mad You're a maker, a creator Not just somebody's dad
Everyone From the temple walls to the New York night Our decisions rest on a man When I take the stand Will he hold my hand? Will my faith stand still or run away? Run away
And the desert It's a hell of a place to find heaven
Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God And you climb to the top of the mountain Looking down on the city Where you were born
On the years since you left Gave you time to sit back and reflect
Better you than me Better you than me Better you than me Yes
Brandon Well the holy night is upon you Do you see both sides? Do they shove you around?
Everyone Better you than me Joseph Better you than me Joseph Joseph Joseph Joseph Than me Better you than me Better you Better you Better you Than me
Brandon Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
