Was just trying to get home Fumes came from the hood Almost got her started Yeah I tried though nothing would Pushed into the station Thought I'd paid my dues They didn't want to take a look Said son get something new Oh you think you're the best Yeah you fall on the rest Oh you make sure you're fed While we fools are better off dead Better off dead Better off dead In the name your lies were spread Any we were better off dead Down amongst the farmlands Sprung flowers in the snow We gave them color, wine and bread And every chance to grow Old bones in the towers Worry 'bout their pay They look down at those flowers Get them weeds out money's way Oh you think you're the best Yeah you fall on the rest Oh you make sure you're fed While we fools are better off dead Better off dead Better off dead In the name your lies were spread And we were better off dead Far beyond the rivers Were a people never seen They gave there grain and precious stone for part of your machine A plague scathed the harvest Then the wells ran dry You sent the locusts of your own And left them all to die Oh you think you're the best Yeah you fall on the rest Oh you make sure you're fed While we fools are better off dead Better off dead Better off dead In the name your lies were spread And we were better off dead Maybe in your empty head Hell we ain't better off dead ♪ Wo oh oh oh oh oh Wo oh oh oh ♪ Better off dead
