it's a dirty job
But someone's gotta do it (4x)

yeah, all i ever heard
As a kid was I'm born to lose
All i ever wanted was a shot
At breakin the rules

i wanna make a lot of 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
Yeah I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be
Face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head

well i ran away
And pawned my soul
For a switchblade knife
i 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 3-piece suit
i don't wanna be you

I'd rather be dead
Yeah I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be
Face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head

I'd rather be dead
Yeah I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be
Face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head

i wanna make a lot of 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
Yeah I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be
Face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head

I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead
yeah I'd rather be dead
Yeah I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be
Face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head

I'd rather be dead
Yeah I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be
Face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head
With a bullet in my head
