Better Off Dead
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Don't you believe in me now?
Now that you found a new friend
Anything goes but the truth
Messages we never send
Anything goes when the angels sing
Dance on volcanoes
Wait see what tomorrow brings
Better off dead, better off dead
Better off dead than your ass in a sling
Why can't you open the door?
I got the key in my hand
I guess we're breaking the law
I guess I don't understand
Anything goes, but I must refuse
Show me some action
Wait 'til you see the news
Better off dead, better off dead
What is the problem here?
Get with the program
Why do you stand accused?
Better off dead, better off dead
Better off dead
Like to see you walk a mile in my shoes
What is the voice we don't hear?
Is it still talking to you?
I hope it's speaking real clear
I hope it's pulling you through
Anything goes, but I have to be fair
Teach you a lesson
Wait 'til I know you care
Better of dead, better of dead
Come and dance in your wheelchair
Show me some traction
Let me know when you get there
Better off dead, better off dead, better off dead
Keep all your love in your head
