Drunk Is Better Than Dead

A little drunk is better than dead When they're strapping you down inside your own head So you hang out with the man on the moon But why does the morning have to come too soon? When you get stuck down deep in bad traffic All your radio is picking up is cheap static So you reach beneath your front seat For the taste of something sweet Well, just remember what the drowning man said A little drunk is better than dead Before you put the gun to your head Remember what the drowning man said A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead A little drunk is better than dead When you're tripping down the path that you were led When your ass has been slapped by too many doors And you think of all the good things you can't afford You can't find a good woman can't find a good job You look in the mirror and all you see is a slob You just can't swallow all the shit you've been fed Been punched in the eye so much you only see red But before you put that gun to your head A little drunk is better than dead Remember what the drowning man said Before you put the gun to your head A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead A little lost is better than found When you always find your hopes just smashed on the ground But someone's always there to lend you a hand But too late you're already neck deep in quick sand And you're sprawled out on some floor Some one call for help Is he alive? We're not sure Everybody's screaming Everyone's in a panic But you, your face is peaceful like it's plastic And as they roll him away on the stretcher We knew that he'd be drunk forever I guess a little drunk is better Before you put the gun to your head Remember what the drowning man said A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead A little drunk, A little drunk is better than dead
