Not Dead Yet
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.
Count down to the minute
Time keeps tickin' away
Born to lose and dying to win
Is not the way I play
Get the high that you're lookin for
While the world goes straight to hell
Die young is what they're sayin'
But it's too soon to tell
Not dead yet
Don't throw dirt on an open casket
Something that I said
You've written me off, but I know I'm not dead yet
Some pray for the sinners
Something's going 'round
I'll fight or go down swingin' before
They stick me in the ground
Get the high that you're going after
While the world goes straight to hell
Live fast is what I'm hearin'
But it's too soon to tell
Not dead yet
Don't throw dirt on an open casket
Something that I said
Ready to go. Ready but not dead yet
Not dead yet
Don't throw dirt on an open casket
Something that I said
You've written me off, but I know I'm not dead yet
Go
Get the high that you're going after
While the world goes straight to hell
Live fast is what they're sayin'
But it's too soon to tell
Not dead yet
Don't throw dirt on an open casket
Something that I said
Ready to go. Ready but not dead yet
Not dead yet
Don't throw dirt on an open casket
Something that I said
You've written me off, but I know I'm not dead yet
But you sure give it a good try
