"I'd Rather Be Dead" lyrics - HARRY NILSSON

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

Oh, I'd rather be dead-I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
I'd rather be dead-I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed

[Laidies:]
I'd rather keep my health-and dress myself
But you're better off dead than sitting on a shelf
[Men:]
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
I will understand because it's better that way
Oh! It's nice to be alive-When the dream comes true
You'll be better off dead-It could happen to you
Oh! 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'd rather be dead than wet than wet my bed
(Alright! Give yourselves a big hand!)
[Clapping]
