i'd rather be dead

i'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead

i'd rather be dead than wet my bed

i'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead

i said dead than wet my bed

oh

i'd rather be gone--than carry on

i'd rather go away--than feel this way

oh

i'd rather be there--where you haven't got a care

and you're better off dead--though it doesn't seem fair

oh

i'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead

i'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed

i'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead

i'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed

i'd rather keep my health--and dress myself

but you're better off dead than sitting on a shelf

i'll tie my tie 'till the day i die

but if i have to be fed then i'd rather be dead

and when he takes my hand on the very last day

i will understand because it's better that way

oh! it's nice to be alive--when the dream comes true

you'll be better off dead--it could happen to you

oh! i'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead

i'd rather be dead than wet my bed

i'd rather be dead--i'd rather be dead

i'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
