Better Off Dead Lyrics - Singles - Bound For Glory

You wake up in the morning, and get up out of bed 

Not remembering the night before, with an aching in your head 

You were snorting white lines before all went blank 

You've been up for days, high on your crank 

When I look at you, I see you're trapped in a maze 

Living in another world, living in a haze 

Just a waste of flesh, wracked with disease 

Will you get back to your feet, or spend your life on your knees? 

Chorus: 

Your arms are filled with tracks, boy, you're better off dead 

It's time for you to face the fact, boy, you're better off dead 

You'd sell your mother for a fix, boy, you're better off dead 

The grave beckons for the sick, boy, you're better off dead 

It's just another day of another month 

This time you wake up in the street 

Your sweat is cold, your skin is pale 

You are lookin very weak 

Your throat is parched, your stomach in pain 

With no place to go, and not a penny to your name 

Was it really worth it? That needle you shared? 

Could it be infected? Or don't you really care? 

(Repeat Chorus) 

You're the walking dead, another lost soul 

Another statistic, yet another toll 

You're coming to an end, searching for that high 

No one cares as another junky dies 

Game over, it's time for you to die 

Game over, no one will hear your cries 

Game over, you thought you had it all 

But now you know you're better off dead, it's time for you to fall
