Rather be dead,
Than alive by your opression,
Rather be dead,
Than alive by your design.

Poisoned my fingers,
Burned out my eyes,
Cut up up my throat,
To be alive.

Rather be dead,
Than alive by your social values,
Rather be dead,
Than alive by your tradition.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/r/refused/rather+be+dead_20310394.html ]
Poisoned my fingers,
Burned my eyes,
Cut up my throat,
To be Alive.

But I磀 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 up my throat.
