A little drunk is better than dead   When they're strapping you down inside your own head   So you hang out with the man on the moon   But why does the morning have to come too soon?      When you get stuck down deep in bad traffic   All your radio is picking up is cheap static   So you reach beneath your front seat   For the taste of something sweet      Well, just remember what the drowning man said   A little drunk is better than dead   Before you put the gun to your head   Remember what the drowning man said   A little drunk, a little drunk is better than dead      A little drunk is better than dead   When you're tripping down the path that you were led   When your ass has been slapped by too many doors   And you think of all the good things you can't afford   You can't find a good woman, can't find a good job      You look in the mirror and all you see is a slob   You just can't swallow all the shit you've been fed   Been punched in the eye so much you only see red   But before you put that gun to your head   A little drunk is better than dead      Remember what the drowning man said   Before you put the gun to your head   A little drunk, a little drunk is better than dead      A little lost is better than found   When you always find your hopes just smashed on the ground   But someone's always there to lend you a hand   But too late you're already neck deep in quick sand      And you're sprawled out on some floor   Some one call for help, is he alive? We're not sure   Everybody's screaming, everyone's in a panic   But you, your face is peaceful like it's plastic      And as they roll him away on the stretcher   We knew that he'd be drunk forever   I guess a little drunk is better      Before you put the gun to your head   Remember what the drowning man said   A little drunk, a little drunk is better than dead   A little drunk, a little drunk is better than dead      No no
