Ultimately a protest song. Of course, Dennis doesn’t really want to be dead, but he doesn’t want to give in to the beliefs of the majority either. A common theme for Refused.
The intro is meant to be the sounds of a worker’s march, and was recorded by Eskil Lövström.
Rather be dead
Than alive by your oppression
Rather be dead
Than alive by your design
Poisoned my fingers
Burned out my eyes
Cut up my throat
To be alive
Rather be dead
Than alive by social values
Rather be dead
Than alive by your tradition
Poisoned my fingers
Burned my eyes
Cut up my throat
To be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Rather be alive, rather be alive, rather be
Rather be alive, rather be alive, rather be
Rather be alive
Rather be alive
Poisoned my fingers
Burned out my eyes
Cut up my throat
