Better Off Dead

copyright © LOUIE FLECK 1/31/98

I will never win the lottery, bad luck would be my only friend
Not only am I fat and ugly, but, I'll never get laid again
I was dropped when I was a baby, paint chips was my favorite snack
My I.Q. is below sub normal, there are so many things that I lack
My pimples erupt constantly, my hair is falling out
I've even got housatosis. What is there to be happy about?
No hat will fit correctly on my weird misshapen head
I guess there's not too much to live for
So I would be better off dead

(chorus)
I'd be better off dead (better off dead)
I'd be better off dead (better off dead)
Step off the misery Merry-Go-Round
Be dead and buried and in the ground
Anyway, It's like I saidÖ I'd be better off dead

When I was conceived, my father cried. When I was born my mother died
A life like this has got to be a mistake, pray for the day when I won't wake
It's been made quite clear to me I've got a lethal personality
Have you seen me limp?, I can barely stand. C'mon everybody, ain't life grand?
The doctor said I'm sterile. I never have any good dreams
The cancer has begun to spread. It is as bad as it seems
Every prick I know is a bastard. Every bitch I know is a slag
My cat prefers the hallway, because I am a motherfucking drag
(chorus)

When I know that the moment is ripe,
I might take a long drag from the old gas pipe,
I could prove to you that I'm not so dull
Put a bullet through my massive skull
Make a date with the street below
Take the express through an open window
From the afterworld I may have to gloat,
If I pour a can of Drano down my throat
My welcome has been overstayed,
I could have some bloody fun with a razor blade
If I want to give somebody a laugh
I could make some toast while I take a hot bath
Spare the world of my agony
Tie my neck to the hanging (nearest) tree
Or run in front of a speeding van,
or you could help me come up with a better plan
You could help me come up with a better plan
Help me come up with a better plan...

Every prick I know is a bastard, every bitch I know is a slag
My cat prefers the hallway 'cause I am a motherfucking drag.
(chorus)
