Better Live Than Dead

Lie lie lie lie liar you lie
Lie lie lie lie lie tell me why
Tell me why why d'you have to lie
Should've realised that you
Should've told the truth
Should've realised you know what i'll do

You're in suspension you're a liar

Now i wanna know know i wanna known why
You never look me in the face
Broke a confidence just to please your ego
Should've realised you know what i know

I know where you go everybody you know
I know everything that you do or say
So when you tell lies i always be in your way
I'm nobody's fool and i know all cos i know
What i know

Lie lie lie liar you lie lie lie lie
I think you're funny you're funny ha ha
I don't need it don't need your blah blah
Should've realised i know what you are

You're in suspension you're a liar
You're a liar
You're a lie
Lie lie lie

Too many problems
Oh why am i here
I don't need to be me
'cos you're all too clear
Well i can see
There's something wrong with you
But what do you expect me to do?
At least i gotta know what i wanna be
Don't come to me if you need pitty
Are you lonely you got no one
You get your body in suspension that's no
Problem problem
Problem the problem is you

Eat your heart out on a plastic tray

You don't do what you want then you'll fade away
You won't find me working nine to five
It's too much fun a being alive
I'm using my feet for my human machine
You won't find me living for the screen
Are you lonely all you needs catered
You got your brains dehydrated

Problem problem
Problem the problem is you
What you gonna do

Problem problem
Problem the problem is you
What you gonna do with your problem

In a death trip i ain't automatic
You won't find me just staying static
Don't you give me any orders
For people like me there is no order

Bet you thought you had it all worked out
Bet you thought you knew what i was about
Bet you thought you'd solved all your problems
But you are the problem

Problem problem
Problem the problem is you
What you gonna do with your problem
I'll leave it to you
Problem ther problem is you
You got a problem
Oh what you gonna do

They know a doctor
Gonna take you away
They take you away
And throw away the key
They don't want you
And they don't want me
You got a problem
The problem is you
Problem problem
Problem the problem is you
What you gonna do
Problem problem problem

Problem problem problem
Problem problem problem
Problem problem problem

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather

But i'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but i'm just back-dated, yeah

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least i'll get my washing done

you're only twentynine
Gotta lot to learn
But when your mummy dies
She will not return

We like noise
It's our choise
It's what wanna do
We don't care about long hair
I don't wear flares

See my face not a trace
No reality i don't work
I just speed that's all i need

I'm a lazy sod i'm a lazy sod
I'm a lazy sod i'm so lazy
I'm a lazy sod i'm a lazy sid
I'm a lazy sod i'm so lazy
I can't even be botherd
Lazy lazy

Turn the page and its the scoop of the century
Don't wanna be l seven i had enough of this
This is brainwash and this is a clue
To the stars who fooled you
Tell me why you cant explain
You're only looking for vinyl yeah
Didn't they fool you they wanna be you

Gimme world war 3 we can live again
You didn't fool me but i fooled you
You wanna be me yeah you wanna be me
You wanna be someone yeah ruin someone
Yeah, didn't i fool you i ruined you yeah
Didn't i fool you i sussed you out

I got you in the camera and i got you in my camera
A second of your life ruined for life
You wanna ruin me in your magazine
You wanna cover us in margarine
And now is the time to realize to have real eyes

Down down down down and i'll take you down on the underground
Down in the dark and down in the crypt
Down in the dark where the typewriter fit
Down with your pen and pad ready to kill to make me ill
Down wanna be someone wanna be someone
Make it as someone you wanna be me ruin me
A typewriuter god a black and white king
Pvc blackboard books black and white
I wanna be me

I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone

You're trying to make your mark in society
Using all the tricks that you used on me
You're reading all those high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' girl
Are causing public scenes

I said
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone

When i first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of who's who

I said
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
I i i i i'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone
