LYRICS
\nAs the end<\/strong> draws near
\nDoes one start to fear
\n“I might be better off dead”
\nAre you ever better off dead
\n… ever better off dead?<\/p>\n

Have you ever heard it said
\n“It’s all in your head”?
\nHave you ever gone to bed
\nLooking forward to what’s ahead<\/p>\n

As it gets near the end<\/strong>
\nDoes one’s life depend
\nOn being better off dead
\nAre you ever better off dead
\n… ever better off dead?<\/p>\n

Once the children are sleeping
\nThe dreaming is sweeping
\nOn the road to keeping
\nPeacekeeping<\/p>\n

When you’re on your last leg
\nAlready kicked the keg
\nHave you become such a dread
\nWishing for “better off dead”?
\nAre you ever better off dead
\n… ever better off dead?<\/p>\n
