“Better” is a song by American rock band Guns N’ Roses, featured on their 2008 sixth studio album Chinese Democracy. It was sent out as the second radio promo from the album, after “Chinese Democracy”, but was not commercially released as a single eligible for international sales charts.
Breaking a two month silence by posting on a message board on December 11, 2008, Axl Rose revealed that a music video for “Better” directed by Dale “Rage” Resteghini would be released “soon”. Shortly after, Rose wrote that Lars Ulrich stated that he makes an appearance in the video saying, “There’s a shot of me and Axl embracing backstage at some concert, and I signed off that, and hopefully it’ll make it in the final cut.” Ulrich was later blamed by Rose’s associate, Fernando Lebeis, to be the reason the video has been delayed, since “the Metallica drummer needed to sign a release”. Ulrich responded by saying “I have heard about this, yes. There was a couple of clips of me in the video and they asked if I would sign off on it. When it got to me, I signed off on the one clip… I don’t know where [the rumor] came from. I’d love to be in a Guns N’ Roses video. It’s my favorite song on the record — I think it’s a great song.” On December 30th, 2008, Rose wrote on the message board “Lars isn’t holding anything up with our video. Our message board comments were meant casually, in fun and amongst friends…We hope to have our video out shortly.”
The song has received a mostly positive reception from critics. Consequence of Sound has written, “While there’s the industrial-like swagger that’s prevalent in “Chinese Democracy”, the bite and harmony is classic GN’R. In fact, this might actually be the best song on the record, out of all three singles released from the record it has been considered to be the lead single.” Rolling Stone concluded, “Like ‘Chinese Democracy’, ‘Better’ feels like classic Guns N’ Roses — Rose’s growling croon in the verses could have floated out of the Use Your Illusion sessions.” The song was officially released as a single on November 17, 2008. On Rolling Stone’s “100 Best Singles of 2008” list, “Better” placed at number 19.
“Better”
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I’d know better, better
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I’d know better, better
The hardest part
This troubled heart
Has never yet been through now
Was heal the scars
That got their start
Inside someone like you now
For had I known
Or I’d been shown
Back when how long it’d take me
To break the charms
That brought me harm
And all but would erase me
I never would
Or thought I could
No matter what you’d pay me
Replay the part
You stole my heart
I should have known you’re crazy
If all I knew
Was that with you
I’d want someone to save me
It’d be enough
But just my luck
I fell in love and maybe
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better
So bittersweet
This tragedy
Won’t ask for absolution
This melody
Inside of me
Still searches for solution
A twist of faith
A change of heart
Cures my infatuation
A broken heart
Provides the spark
For my determination
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I’d know better, better
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I’d know better, better
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better
I never wanted you to be so full of anger (anger)
I never wanted you to be somebody else
I never wanted you to be someone afraid to know themselves
I only wanted you to see things for yourself
All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
Now we all know better
All that I wanted was
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
Na na na na
(cont, thru verse)
If I were you
I’d manage to
Avoid the invitation
Of promised love
That can’t keep up
With your adoration
Just use your head
And in the end
You’ll find your inspiration
To choose your steps
And won’t regret
This kind of aggravation
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I’d know better, better
No one ever told me when
I was alone
They just thought I’d know better, better
