I'd Rather Die Happy (Album Version)

I'd Rather Die Happy (Album Version) - The Slackers

I sat myself down Tuesday

Wrote myself a song

Just things I want to say

About what is wrong

But all of my complaining

Well it comes to no avail

And things I really need to say

I've yet to learn myself

Ah but I won't cry no

And I won't wail no

I'll tell myself that you never fail

Until it's over

And when it's over it's over

So I wrote myself a letter

And I sent it off to you

To make myself feel better

I tried to tell the truth

I wrote a song for Jesus Christ

And one for Noah's Ark

I sang a song for morning light

And I still sat in the dark

But I won't cry no

And I won't wail no

I'll tell myself that you never fail

Until it's over

And when it's over it's over

So I accept I can't do nothing

Do nothing at all

I see myself a big long road

And I build myself a wall

I dig myself a tunnel

So I could get on under

And join the rest of the human race

Just ask why and wonder

But I won't cry no

And I won't wail no

I'll tell myself that you never fail

Until it's over

And when it's over it's over

And when it's over it's over

It's over it's over
