D-DU-UDU
 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
 ::Chorus::
 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
 ::Verse 2::
 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
 ::Chorus::
 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
 ::Instrumental Solo::
 ::Verse 3::
 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
 ::Chorus::
 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
