[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1: James Hetfield]
I look at you, then you me
Hungry and thirsty are we
Holding the lion's share, holding the key
Holding me back 'cause I'm striving to be

[Chorus: James Hetfield & Jason Newsted]
Better than you
(Better than you)
Better than you
(Better than you)

[Verse 2: James Hetfield]
Lock horns, I push and I strive
Somehow I feel more alive
Bury the need for it, bury the seed
Bury me deep when there's no will to be

[Chorus: James Hetfield & Jason Newsted]
Better than you
(Better than you)
Oh, better than you
(Better than you)
[Bridge: James Hetfield]
Oh, can't stop this train from rolling
Oh, nothing brings me down
No, can't stop this train from rolling on and on, on
No, no, forever on and on

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge: James Hetfield]
Oh, can't stop this train from rolling
Oh, you, you can't take it down
No, never stop this locomotion, on and on and on
And no, no, you can't bring me down

[Chorus: James Hetfield & Jason Newsted]
'Cause I'm better than you
(Better than you)
Better than you
(Better than you)
Ooh, better than you
(Better than you)
Better than you
(Better than you)
Much better than you
Better than you
(Better than you)
Oh, better than you
(Better than you)
Better than you
(Better than you)
Better than, better than
Better than, better than you, yeah
[Outro: James Hetfield]
Can't stop this train from rolling
Forever on and on and on and on and on
Forever on and on, on
Better than you, ooh, yeah
Better than you
