better place to die
verse 1
E
the rich get richer and the poor get bitter

it’s a curse just to be alive
E A
if we burn enough furniture to live through the winter
E B7 E
i want to have a better place to die
chorus
B7 E
i want a better place to die in a battlefield to fight in
B7 E
a bigger hole to hide in and commit suicide in
E A
i’d be feeling much better if we all came together
E B7 E
and made the world a better place to die
verse 2
if jesus comes back as some do say
i’d ask what do you decide
to die on the cross or by the ultraviolet rays
which is the better way to die
verse 3
you can burn your credit cards and not pay your ta
xbut the mark of the beast is the sign
you’re branded at the grocery when you cash personal checks
and stamp your thumbprint on the line
verse 4
i’m gonna take my tribe outside this system
head out west and hide
except for radiation and alien abductions
i hear nevada is nice
verse 5
when i’m in the nursing home eating steak with a spoon
and my only visitors are flies
i hope my kids are living on the moon
assuming it’s a better place to die
