I'd rather be dead, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead, I'd rather be dead
I said dead than wet my bed
Oh, I'd rather be gone than carry on
I'd rather go away than feel this way
Oh, I'd rather be there where you haven't got a care
And you're better off dead though it doesn't seem fair
I'd rather keep my health and dress myself
But you're better off dead than sitting on a shelf
I'll tie my tie 'till the day I die
But if I have to be fed then I'd rather be dead
And when he takes my hand on the very last day
