All I ever heard as a kid was "you're born to lose"
All I ever wanted was a shot at breakin' the rules
I wanna make a lotta money
But I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna get a real job
I don't wanna be you
I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head
I ran away and pawned my soul for a switchblade knife
Met a man from mars and a couple other freaks that night
I wanna take on the world
I wanna bang a million girls
I don't wanna wear a three piece suit
I don't wanna be you
I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it All I ever heard as a kid was "you're born to lose" All I ever wanted was a shot at breakin' the rules I wanna make a lotta money But I don't wanna go to school I don't wanna get a real job I don't wanna be you I'd rather be dead I'd rather be dead I'd rather be face down in the dirt With a bullet in my head I ran away and pawned my soul for a switchblade knife Met a man from mars and a couple other freaks that night I wanna take on the world I wanna bang a million girls I don't wanna wear a three piece suit I don't wanna be you I'd rather be dead I'd rather be dead I'd rather be face down in the dirt With a bullet in my head It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it Explain Request ×
