D                             C             A#                  C
Death and the shadow that it casts on life scares me little or none.
A                    A#                   G
People tell me of a divine right and the happy chosen one.
D                      C                A#             C
I'm a freak 'cause my morals clash with others in the world.
A                A#               G
I go home while they work hard, then they same I'm wrong.

Chorus:
G                 D#       D
There's only one place to be,
G                 D#    C A# A
while living with tragedy.
G               D#      D
If their sins affected me,
   G        D#            C  A# A
I gotta be damned to be free.

Freedom is responsibility, pay more than it's worth
Instincts tells us not to die, hazy myth since birth
Learn their rules, play their game, deceive yourself in haste
Turn your own brain into dust; it's not theirs to waste

Chorus:
There's only one place to be,
while living with tragedy
Extract the nectar, burn the tree,
I gotta be damned to be free

Thinking... This world it ain't so bad
Dying, It's just another fad
Working, 8 hours, that's not for me
Dying, It's just your destiny
