better off dead

anathema tarafından da başarıyla icra edilmiş bir bad religion şarkısı. başka bir yere götürür insanı.

i'm sorry about the sun,
how could i know that you'd burn?,
and i'm sorry about the moon,
how could i know that you'd disapproved,
i'll never make the same mistake,
the next time i create the universe i'll make sure we communicate at length

but until then...better of dead,
a smile on the lips and a hole in the head,
better of dead, yeah better than this,
better of dead, yeah better than this,
take it away 'cuz there's nothing to miss

i'm sorry about the world,
how could i know you'd take it so bad?,
and i'll never make the same mistake,
the next time i create the universe i'll make sure you participate

but until then...
better of dead, yeah better of dead,
why don't you try pushing daisies instead

and i'll never make the same mistake,
the next time i create the universe i'll make sure we communicate,
just in case

Born to die in a game
Where there is no return
Try to find a pleasant means of death
All your life you have learnt
Tortured by the world till you
Draw your final breath

Terror, hate
Murder, rape

Through your life trying hard
To find out what it means
Those who know all have lost their mind
Through their eyes we can see
That nothing's to obscene
Empty shells, nothing there
Just bodies left behind

Terror, hate
Murder, rape

In this nightmare life time
You're better off dead
Pain and warfare, sex-crime
You're better off dead

Broken dreams devastated
By your will to live
Ruined by malignance and decay
We're betrayed until
There is nothing more to give
Praying for a final peace
To be there in our graves

Terror, hate
Murder, rape

In this nightmare life time
You're better off dead
Pain and warfare, sex-crime
You're better off dead

Terror, hate
Murder, rape

In this nightmare life time
You're better off dead
Pain and warfare, sex-crime
You're better off dead

In this nightmare life time
You're better off dead
Pain and warfare, sex-crime
You're better off dead

Better off dead

çaresizliğin resmini çizen kusursuz anathema coverı.

anathema coverının çok başarılı olduğu bad religion şarkısı.

anathemanın fazlasıyla can kattığı parça. ayrıca ölsem daha iyi manasına gelmektedir.

sum 41'ın does this look infected? albümünde yer alan over my head adlı şarkının diğer adı. çok güzel bir şarkıdır.

motörhead'in snake bite love albümünde yer alan bir şarkı. sözleri;

Don't you believe in me now?
Now that you found a new friend
Anything goes but the truth
Messages we never send
Chorus.

Anything goes when the angels sing
Dance on volcanoes
Wait see what tomorrow brings
Better of dead, better of dead
Better of dead, than your ass in a sling

Why can't you open the door?
I got the key in my hand
I guess we're breaking the law
I guess I don't understand

Chorus.

Anything goes, but I must refuse
Show me some action
Wait 'til you see the news
Better of dead, better of dead

Chorus.

What is the problem here
Get with the program
Why do you stand accused
Better of dead, better of dead
Better of dead
Like to see you walk a mile in my shoes

What is the voice we don't hear
Is it still talking to you
I hope it's speaking real clear
I hope it's pulling you through
Anything goes, but I have to be fair
Teach you a lesson
Wait 'til I know you care
Better of dead, better of dead
Come and dance in your wheelchair
Show me some traction

Let me know when you get there
Better of dead, better of dead, better of dead
Keep all your love in your head

güzel bir anathema Cover'ı olmasının yanında, en az aynı derecede etkili bir flotsam and jetsam eseri.

sometimes i feel like just ending it all
every step a broken leg, every floor breaks a fall
i can't only not see light, i can't find the tunnel.
life keeps giving me an uphill climb
without a ladder or a rope, without a prayer or a hope
i can't only not see light, i can't find the tunnel
i can't find my way
don't know if i'll see tomorrow
or the rest of today
i can't raise my head

maybe i'm better off dead
better off dead
better off dead
better off dead
i can't only not see light, i'm better off dead

every time we try to step ahead, step ahead
there's a force that holds us down
holds us back, keeps us in
and i pray every day
that things will take a turn
that tomorrow brings me hope
that today will slip away
i can't only not see light
i can't close my eyes
i have lost my way
don't know about tomorrow
or the best of today
i won't raise my head

and so i'm better off dead
better off dead
better off dead
better off dead
i can't only not see light
i'm better off dead
i can't only not see light
i'm better off dead

sometimes i feel like i've ended it all
every step a shooting pain
every floor breaks a fall
i can't only not see light

i'm better off dead
better off dead
better off.

so stick my body in the ground
and find a priest and gather round
and say a little prayer to god
throw some flowers on the sod cause
i will never see light
and i'm better off dead.
