Todd Rundgren - Maybe I'm Better Off lyrics

rate me

Maybe I'm better off

If I never leave this cell

Maybe I've lived enough

In a world as free as hell (just as free as hell)

Where you keep on thinking

While it's stinking

You enjoy the smell

And you lick the bowl as well

Love's out there

They tell you

They sell you anything to make you happy

Then it all just turns to crap

So maybe I'm better off

Than I was when I was young

Now that I know the cost

When you try to love someone

Guess I'm better off

In jail at thirty-one

What about all my friends?

Now I won't have to watch them die

And every time they sell out

I won't be there to question why

They can get so high

On the butts they're kissing

While they're pissing

'Way each other's lives

As they shag each other's wives

No shopping, co-oping

None of the grand design to sooth the masses

'Til it's time to pay your taxes

Maybe I'm better off

Than I was in days gone by

Now that I know the cost

When you set your sights too high

Yes I'm better off

It's jailbreak time for Ian

Maybe I'm better off

Now that I've kissed her off

Now that they've whisked me off to the slammer and

Maybe I'm better off

Now that she's pissed me off

Now that my fist takes on a new glamour and

Maybe my mind's run off

Maybe I've just gone off my head

Maybe I've just gone 'round the bend

Maybe I'm in my own little world

It's jailbreak time for Ian

Praise the lord, it's jailbreak time for Ian

What the hell took you so long?

Life hands you new chances

Uncertain circumstances

Set you back

But then you win the Lotto jackpot

Every time you give up (every time you give up)

Then you give up being young

Everything has a cost

That's the way this world is run

Maybe I'm better off

Now I'm free and thirty-one

I'm free, male, and thirty-one
