[Written By Sixx / Michael / Ashba / Frederiksen]s



It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it



All I ever heard as a kid was "you're born to lose"

All I ever wanted was a shot at breakin' the rules



I wanna make a lotta money

But I don't wanna go to school

I don't wanna get a real job

I don't wanna be you



[Chorus:]

I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be dead

I'd rather be face down in the dirt

With a bullet it my head



I ran away and pawned my soul for a switchblade knife

I Met a man from mars and a couple other freaks that night



I wanna take on the world

I wanna bang a million girls

I don't wanna wear a three piece suit

I don't wanna be you



[Chorus x2]



I wanna make a lotta money

But I don't wanna go to school

I don't wanna get a real job

I don't wanna be you



I'd rather be dead



It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it

I'd rather be dead



It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it

I'd rather be face down in the dirt

With a bullet it my head
