Track 4 of Patrick Porter's ‘Goodbye Pork Pie Heart’ LP (2008)
lyrics
I'D RATHER JUST DIE
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2008)
The sun's in the sky
It's a beautiful day today
The world sure looks nice
At first sight in the doorway
But I'd rather just die
I'd rather just die today
The leaves have gone gold
It sure looks like fall today
There's frost on the walls
Martha Stewart would love this day
But I'd rather just die
I'd rather just die today
Don't tell me I don't love life
I love it so much that it shits up my sights
But don't tell me I should change my mind
Cuz I reserve the right
To just wanna die
And I'd rather just die
I'd rather just die today
