Drop Dead Lyrics by grandson

Death Of An Optimist

2020

[Intro]
Ayy

[Verse 1]
Sometimes, the bad guy wins and
Sometimes, the good guy dies
When the screen goes black, I'll be with you in the back
On the bright side, on the bright side
Sometimes, the good things don't last
Time flies, and life goes past
When your world is a mess, I'll be with you for the rest
On the bright side, on the bright side, so

[Pre-Chorus]
Take the money, put it all on red

[Chorus]
I'm a pothead, I'm a sinner
Got no hope, not a sliver
Rather drop dead than be a quitter
I'd rather drop dead, I'd rather drop dead
I'm a pothead, I'm a sinner
Shit, life ain't fair, go figure
Rather drop dead than be a quitter
I'd rather drop dead, I'd rather drop dead

[Verse 2]
Sometimes we're too naïve
And they say that we'll underachieve
I don't wanna cash out, I'll be with you burning out
On the bright side (On the bright side)
Even if we fall short, if we drift off course
I ain't showing no remorse, it's a nice ride (It's a nice ride)
Even if we go up in flames, I'ma treat it all the same
Know they won't forget the name for a lifetime

[Pre-Chorus]
Take the money, put it all on red

[Chorus]
I'm a pothead, I'm a sinner
Got no hope, not a sliver
Rather drop dead than be a quitter
I'd rather drop dead, I'd rather drop dead
I'm a pothead, I'm a sinner
Shit, life ain't fair, go figure
Rather drop dead than be a quitter
I'd rather drop dead, I'd rather drop dead

[Bridge]
Don't let go, don't give up that easy
No
Don't let go, don't give up that easy
It's turning around
Oh, oh-oh

[Chorus]
I'm a pothead, I'm a sinner
Got no hope, not a sliver
Rather drop dead than be a quitter
I'd rather drop dead, I'd rather drop dead
I'm a pothead, I'm a sinner
Shit, life ain't fair, go figure
Rather drop dead than be a quitter
I'd rather drop dead, I'd rather drop dead
