“Suicide (A Better Way)” is a song about the narrator wanting to kill himself because of the world’s problems, and encouraging the listener to do it too.

[Verse 1]
Swillin' on the dragon yesterday
Tompkins Square Park, up by Avenue A
Halfway down the 40 and a pig come up to me
He said "Listen here, boy: Ya gotta show me your ID"
But living in a police state
I tell ya, man, it ain't that great
I know it doesn't even matter what I say
But don't ya know there's gotta be a better way
[Verse 2]
I'm all alone, I'm feeling bad
I'm by myself, all I ever had
I hate my life, I'm such a mess
I wanna die, I'm so depressed
And every time I look at you
I know exactly what to do
I didn't want to be born, the pleasure all has died
So now I'm gonna snuff it with my suicide
[Chorus]
Suicide
The best
No better way
[Bridge]
Sit in a hot bathtub, razor blade and slit your wrists
Watch your life fade to black
You have this power to kill yourself called suicide
And no one can take that back
There is no better way to kill yourself than suicide
There is no sweeter death
[Post-Bridge: Spoken]
"Never is a name
The name of Never is Death
Uh, the angel of Death"
[Outro]
A better way
Suicide
A better way
[Outro]
Do it! Kill yourself!
