They'd Rather Die Happy Lyrics

Beneath the streets in an old warehouse

I make my case that we must get out

This city was never intended to last

I can save you all if we act fast

Jet interrupted, said it's nice to meet you, but you're wrong to think we need rescue

We are the Simonites, about to ascend, according to the gospel of Simon Says

From his manifesto we know of our fate

Thinning the herd will preserve the state

Simon Simon provides the ultimate cure

A divine reunion natural and pure

She said, Christian, you can't possibly know how it feels to be cleansed of all hope

We desire no more than guaranteed peace, the ineffable joy of a final, final release

They'd rather die, they'd rather die

They'd rather die happy

Ooh, I wonder, which way I should go

My ultraclass nephew we've waited so long to meet Simon Simon at the eschaton

Your privileged status gives us a chance to bring him here to conduct our last dance

I know you showed up at your mother's behest to bring me back to the ultraclass

But they're beginning to trim the dead weight

I ask, how long before you meet the same fate

They'd rather die, they'd rather die

They'd rather die happy

Ooh, I wonder, which way

They'd rather die, they'd rather die

They'd rather die happy

Ooh, I wonder, which way I should go
