Better now…
They’re the only lyrics worth me citing from Post Malone’s track Better Now.
As you know I only use lyrics about personal development.
When his song deteriorates into the typical love you girl pop.
If I were writing for Post I’d say, man you can keep getting better now.
Coz, well, who wants to be…
Worse Now…
Worse now…
None of us want to sing along to that, do we?
No parent has a bumper sticker—My kid failed 4th grade.
Or My son was dropped from the synchronized swimming team.
No adult brags—I’m into personal stagnation, operating at a fraction of my potential.
No one proudly posts a picture on LinkedIn with their little glass award for worst performer in the company.
Everyone likes to sing how they’re better now.
But how many of us actually are?
