I'd Rather Be Dead - Harry Nilsson Written by:Harry Nilsson/R. Perry 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 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 my bed 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 'til 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 my bed Alright give yourselves a big hand
