(No One's) Better Off Dead

from A Disposable Life by Peter Galperin

/

lyrics

(verse 1/chorus 1)
Everyday I wake up, well that’s good enough for me.
The options not attractive, so I’ll aim for longevity.
Dark and painful thoughts may linger from the night before,
But a breath of oxygen clears my head... ohh.
Daylight brings a sense of life worth fighting for,
Because no one’s... better off dead.


(verse 2/chorus 2)
Life doesn’t always go smoothly, sometimes I’m a basket case.
Unexplained forces try to keep me in my place.
It might seem like the end of the world, but I know it rarely is.
A breath of oxygen clears my head... ohh,
I hope I can look back some day and see this as a turning point,
Because no one’s... better off dead.

(bridge)
I apologize this doesn’t cover sickness and disease, but that’s a song best left unsung.
No one will be watching when you make your final peace, we all leave here one by one...

(verse 3/chorus 3)
I feel so foolish, ‘cause I’ve messed up once again.
This time it’s serious, I really screwed a friend.
How could I be so thoughtless, I must be borderline.
But a breath of oxygen clears my head... ohh.
I’ll beg forgiveness and promise to never again,
Because no one’s... better off dead (4x)

Better off dead (3x)
