I'm sorry
About the world

You'd take it so bad?

  So if you're looking for a patsy
  Why not try the entire human race
  Just to play it safe

    Refrain  (fin: G)

    Better off dead, yeah better off dead
    Why don't you try pushing daisies instead?
    Better off dead, yeah better off dead
    A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
