Drop Dead Lyrics
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
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
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
About
“If there’s any one person who embodies the intersection of hip-hop culture and rock culture, it’s Travis Barker. Working with him was really fun. There’s just nothing like sitting in the control room while Travis Barker does a pass on the drums—it was just such a gratifying feeling. I’m such a fan of blink-182, I’m a fan of the new Machine Gun Kelly album that he produced, and I wanted that very classic kind of optimism that a blink song makes you feel. Despite all of this static noise, despite all of the ways in which the past is obscured this year, we still just keep putting one foot in front of the other. That was the spirit that I wanted to leave people with.”
