by Paul McCartney I know it isn't easy to refuse A lot of thoughts are flying thru' your head Tell me this before you have to choose Would you rather be alive or dead? It's as simple as that Would you rather be alive or dead It's as simple as that, it's so simple It makes you wanna cry They ask you if you wanna join in You linger for a minute or so Well now's a perfect time to begin Are you gonna say yes or no? It's as simple as that Are you gonna say yes or no? If s as simple as that, it's so simple It makes you wanna cry And if you love your life Everybody will love you too Yes if you love your life Everybody will love you too It's harder when you start to get round I want you to remember what I said I know you never like to let them down But would you rather be alive or dead? It's as simple as that Would you rather be alive or dead? It's as simple as that, if s so simple It makes me wanna cry Yes if you love your life Everybody will love you too And if you love your life Everybody will love you too Would you rather be alive or dead? Would you rather be alive or dead? Would you? It's as simple as that It's as simple as that It's as simple as that And if you love your life Everybody will love you too Yes if you love your life
