Maybe I should entertain
The very fact that I'm insane.
I wasn't fooling when I said,
"All the people I like are those that are dead."
I've been around this town and I've seen what God has done
I've been around and it's no fun
I've been a two-timer/tearaway God has told me so
But I don't believe in Him you know
Don't make me a martyr for our causes
'Cause I don't believe a word that you said
All the people I like are those are dead
Maybe I shoud take a gun,
And put it to the head of everyone
All the people I like are in the ground
It's better to be lost than to be found
I should listen hard to the voices from within
They are telling me that I'll never win
I should save myself I shoud save myself from sin
But I wouldn't know where to begin
You are trying to tell me what you believe in
But I ain't got a clue what you are talking about
It's better to be a man than to be a mouse
All the people I like are those that are dead
All the people I like are those that are dead
All the people I like are those that are dead
All the people I like are those that are dead
I've been around this town and I've seen what God has done
I've been around and it's no fun
I've been a two-timer/tearaway God has told me so
But I don't believe in Him you know
Don't make me a martyr for our causes
'Cause I don't believe a word that you said
All the people I like are those that are
All the people I like are those that are
All the people I like are those that are dead.

The song expresses feelings of alienation, disappointment, and a sense of not belonging to society or other people's views. The line "All the people I like are those that are dead" is repeated by the singer to express their preference for deceased or historical figures over living ones. It suggests that they are feeling alone and find it hard to connect with others in the singer's own time.
"I've been around this town and I've seen what God has done... But I don't believe in him you know," further illustrates the song's themes of disbelieving religion and lacking confidence in it.
"It's better to be a man than to be a mouse" and "Don't make me a martyr for your causes" could be referring to resistance to being forced or manipulated into following a certain idea or cause.
Overall it communicates a feeling of internal conflict, rebellion, and rejection of social norms. It seems to express the singer's sense of alienation as well as their desire for authenticity and purpose in a confusing world.
