Maybe I'm better off |
|
If I never leave this cell |
|
Maybe I've lived enough |
|
In a world as free as hell (just as free as hell) |
|
Where you keep on thinking |
|
While it's stinking |
|
You enjoy the smell |
|
And you lick the bowl as well |
|
Love's out there |
|
They tell you |
|
They sell you anything to make you happy |
|
Then it all just turns to crap |
|
So maybe I'm better off |
|
Than I was when |
|
I was young |
|
Now that I know the cost |
|
When you try to love someone |
|
Guess I'm better off |
|
In jail at thirty-one |
|
What about all my friends? |
|
Now I won't have to watch them die |
|
And every time they sell out |
|
I won't be there to question why |
|
They can get so high |
|
On the butts they're kissing |
|
While they're pissing ' |
|
Way each other's lives |
|
As they shag each other's wives |
|
No shopping, co-oping |
|
None of the grand design to sooth the masses ' |
|
Til it's time to pay your taxes |
|
Maybe I'm better off |
|
Than I was in days gone by |
|
Now that I know the cost |
|
When you set your sights too high |
|
Yes I'm better off |
|
It's jailbreak time for |
|
Ian Maybe |
|
I'm better off |
|
Now that I've kissed her off |
|
Now that they've whisked me off to the slammer and |
|
Maybe I'm better off |
|
Now that she's pissed me off |
|
Now that my fist takes on a new glamour and |
|
Maybe my mind's run off |
|
Maybe I've just gone off my head |
|
Maybe I've just gone 'round the bend |
|
Maybe I'm in my own little world |
|
It's jailbreak time for |
|
Ian Praise the lord, it's jailbreak time for |
|
Ian What the hell took you so long? |
|
Life hands you new chances |
|
Uncertain circumstances |
|
Set you back |
|
But then you win the |
|
Lotto jackpot |
|
Every time you give up (every time you give up) |
|
Then you give up being young |
|
Everything has a cost |
|
That's the way this world is run |
|
Maybe I'm better off |
|
Now I'm free and thirty-one |
|
I'm free, male, and thirty-one |
