Jack Rootes - I'd Rather Be Dead lyrics

{Verse 1} Moonlight on my pale skin Life’s turning to a tailspin Have to pretend that I’m alright Even though the pain burns like sunlight Everybody wants to be the bad guy When things meant to horrify get glorified And I wonder, is life worth living In a world that refuses to keep giving But would rather take for selfish gain Even if they have to cheat at welfare games Or turn one another into criminals That’s why my views are so cynical Human beings like all take, no give All bark, no bite, that’s how they live If to live is not such a good drive Thеn why the fu*k am I even alivе? {Hook} Life has me, feeling so worthless I gotta ask, what’s my purpose? Negativity, surrounds me How people live like this astounds me Life is such a cruel game We all just, circle the drain It’s like happiness escapes our head If that’s the case, I’d rather be dead! {Verse 2} These young mortals Act loud without being thoughtful Why they do it, is such a wonder They won’t shut up, ‘till they’re 6 feet under! Some say they do it just to impress Others say it’s a method to express How they feel about things around ‘em Until the day the coroner pronounces them Dead, that’s where we all end up We’ll die either a victor or a contender Doesn’t matter how or why you trade blows You win some, you lose some, that’s how the game goes But it makes me so sick How many kids, choose to be pricks! If I could shut them up for good, then I would! They don’t follow discipline, when they really should! {Hook} {Verse 3} And for god’s sake, please- Don’t get me started on these so-called MCs! Walking in the same shoes like a group of clones Repeating the same sh*t like some dumb drones It’s always ‘Whippin’ this, I’m trappin’ that.’ Makes me wanna grab their neck and snap it back! Everybody screaming ‘Gang, gang, gang.’ But when sh*t hit the fan, they just ran, ran, ran Bad influences for the youth Talk the same sh*t, claim to make moves But stay in the same place like detention There’s nothing more pathetic than a cry for attention! I always thought, that life was worth it Now I just wanna take the world and burn it! So I stare at the moon, thoughts in my head Man, fu*k this life! I’d rather be dead! {Hook}
