    Story Behind the Song
    There's so much angst and complaining. Let's not take ourselves so seriously! This is another demo version of a song on the "So Much More" CD coming at you soon!

    Lyrics
    I will never win the lottery,
    Bad luck would be my only friend
    Not only am I fat and ugly
    But, Ill never get laid again
    I was dropped when I was a baby
    Paint chips was my favorite snack
    My I.Q. is below sub normal
    There are so many things that I lack
    My pimples erupt constantly
    My hair is falling out
    Ive even got housatosis
    What is there to be happy about?
    No hat will fit correctly
    On my weird misshapen head
    I guess theres not too much to live for
    So I would be better off dead
    (chorus)
    Id be better off dead (better off dead)
    Id be better off dead (better off dead)
    Step off the misery Merry-Go-Round
    Be dead and buried and in the ground
    Anyway, Its like I said Id be better off dead

    When I was conceived, my father cried
    When I was born my mother died
    A life like this has got to be a mistake
    Pray for the day when I wont wake
    Its been made quite clear to me
    Ive got a lethal personality
    Have you seen me limp?, I can barely stand
    Cmon everybody, aint life grand?
    The doctor said Im sterile
    I never have any good dreams
    The cancer has begun to spread
    It is as bad as it seems
    Every trick I know is plastered
    Every itch I know is a slag
    My cat prefers the hallway
    Cause I am a mother flocking drag
    (chorus)
    Id be better off dead (better off dead)
    Id be better off dead (better off dead)
    Step off the misery Merry-Go-Round
    Be dead and buried and in the ground
    Anyway, Its like I said Id be better off dead

    When I know that the moment is ripe,
    I might take a long drag from the old gas pipe,
    I could prove to you that Im not so dull
    Put a bullet through my massive skull
    Make a date with the street below
    Take the express through an open window
    From the afterworld I may have to gloat,
    If I pour a can of Drano down my throat
    My welcome has been overstayed,
    I could have some bloody fun with a razor blade
    If I want to give somebody a laugh
    I could make some toast while I take a hot bath
    Spare the world of my agony
    Tie my neck to the nearest tree
    Or run in front of a speeding van,
    or you could help me come up with a better plan
    You could help me come up with a better plan
    Help me come up with a better plan
    (life affirming Ska jam)
    Every pick I know is a master
    Every witch I know is a slag
    My cat prefers the hallway
    Cause I am a mother flocking drag
    (chorus)
    Id be better off dead (better off dead)
    Id be better off dead (better off dead)
    Step off the misery Merry-Go-Round
    Be dead and buried and in the ground
    Anyway, Its like I said
