[Intro]
(It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it)
(It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it)
(It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it)
(It's a dirty job, but) Someone's gotta do it

[Verse 1]
Yeah, all I ever heard as a kid was, "You're born to lose"
All I ever wanted was a shot at breakin' the rules

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna make a lot of money
But I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna get a real job
I don't wanna be you

[Chorus]
I'd rather be dead
Yeah, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be face down in the dirt with a bullet in my head
Wow!

[Verse 2]
Well, I ran away and pawned my soul for a switchblade knife
I met a man from Mars and a couple other freaks that night
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna take on the world
I wanna bag a million girls
I don't wanna wear a three piece suit
I don't wanna be you

[Chorus]
I'd rather be dead
Yeah, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be face down in the dirt with a bullet in my head
I'd rather be dead
Yeah, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be face down in the dirt with a bullet in my head

[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna waste a lot of money
But I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna get a real job
I don't wanna be you

[Bridge]
I'd rather be dead (It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it)
Yeah, I'd rather be dead (It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it)
(It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it) I'd rather be face down in the dirt with a bullet in my head
Yeah, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'd rather be dead (It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it)
Yeah, I'd rather be dead (It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it)
I'd rather be face down in the dirt with a bullet in my head

I'd rather be dead (It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it)
Yeah, I'd rather be dead (It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it)
I'd rather be face down in the dirt with a bullet in my head
With a bullet in my head
(With a bullet in my head)
(With a bullet in my head)
