This is the tenth track off of Filter’s 1995 debut album, “Short Bus”
Note: The bridge of this song is a sampled recording. The audio was clear until the drum and guitar kicked back in a drowned it out
[Verse 1]
I've been thinking about what you said
It's been going 'round in my head
I've been thinking about what you were
It's a messy, messed up blur
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And when your con was over
One thing I learned
[Chorus]
I think you'd be better off if you were dead
I think you'd be better off if you were dead
I think you'd be better off if you were dead
I think you'd be better off if you were dead
[Verse 2]
You think your check might last a year
Ain't got no worries, ain't got no fear
You change so fast, you're such a creep
You make me feel so very cheap
[Interlude]
There's a guy
He was, uh, prematurely retired
Let's just say that, um, patient
He can answer the "what"
But he can't answer the "how" or "why"
Uh, and, uh, he went up
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And when the heist was over
I guess I got burned
[Chorus]
I think you'd be better off if you were dead
I think you'd be better off if you were dead
I think you'd be better off if you were dead
I think you'd be better off if you were dead
[Outro]
If you were dead
If you were dead
