[Intro]
It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it[x4]

[Verse 1]
Yeah, all I ever heard as a kid was I'm born to lose
All I ever wanted was a shot at breaking the rules
I want to make a lot of money but I don't want to go to school
I don't want to get a real job, I don't want to be you

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 want to take on the world, I want to bang a million girls
I don't want to wear a three piece suit, I don't want to be you

[Chorus[x2]

[Bridge]
I want to make a lot of money but I don't want to go to school
I don't want to get a real job, I don't want to be you

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
Yeah, I'd rather be dead, I'd rather be dead
Yeah, 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

[Chorus]
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
With a bullet in my head

Mötley Crüe is the symbol of the 1980s rock n roll attitude. Formed in Los Angeles, California on January 17, 1981, the group was founded by bassist Nikki Sixx and drummer Tommy Lee, later joined by Mick Mars on the guitar and Vince Neil on the microphone.

Mötley Crüe has revolutionized the rock scene multiple times and officially introduced the idea of the rock show with fireworks, barely dressed girls and flamethrowers. They sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
