Getting Better

Getting Better is a Beatles song about rebellion and personal growth.

I used to get mad at my school

The teachers who taught me weren't cool

You're holding me down, turning me round

Filling me up with your rules. [1]

The narrator of this thoughtful story talks about how an experience of love or possible a religious conversion turned him around.

Me used to be a angry young man

Me hiding me head in the sand

You gave me the word

I finally heard

I'm doing the best that I can.
