Better Off Dead Lyrics

Cover art for Better Off Dead lyrics by Bad Religion

This song is about people who are never happy with anything. They whine, bitch and moan about their lives and always look for some scapegoat, rather than accept responsibilty for their state in life.

The song seems to address some person that Brett may have in mind particularly. He uses overstated sarcasm beatifully here. It makes me think of how sometimes, when you are subjected to profuse whining and moaning, you want to tell the person to give up on life and go jump off a cliff. They'd be happier dead.
