Face Down In The Dirt Lyrics

It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it

Yeah, all I ever heard as a kid
Was "you're born to lose"
All I ever wanted was a shot
At breaking the rules

I wanna make a lotta money
But i don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna get a real job
I don't wanna be you

I'd rather be dead
Yeah, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head

Well I ran away and pawned my soul
For a switchblade knife
I met a man from Mars
And a couple other freaks that night

I wanna take on the world
I wanna bang a million girls
I don't wanna wear a three piece suit
I don't wanna be you

I'd rather be dead
Yeah, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head

I'd rather be dead
Yeah, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head

I wanna waste a lotta money
But I don't wanna go to school
I don't wanna get a real job
I don't wanna be you

I'd rather be dead
(It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it)
Yeah, I'd rather be dead
(It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it)
I'd rather be face down in the dirt
(It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it)
With a bullet in my head

Yeah, I'd rather be dead
I'd rather be dead

Yeah, I'd rather be dead
(It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it)
Yeah, I'd rather be dead
(It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it)
I'd rather be face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head

Yeah, I'd rather be dead
(It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it)
Yeah, I'd rather be dead
(It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it)
I'd rather be face down in the dirt
With a bullet in my head

With a bullet in my head

I know it's typical and whatever, but this is awesome:

I wanna make a lotta money But i don't wanna go to school I don't wanna get a real job I don't wanna be you

As for me it's a little bit deeper. The only thing he knows and wants is to live in idleness, but at the same time he realizes that it's not right, so the only way out and, by the way, the best, is to 'be face down in the dirt with the bullet' in his head. That is)
