Prove Yourself

I can't afford to breathe in this time
nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
hooked back up to the cathode ray
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

prove yourself
prove yourself
prove yourself

I wanna breathe, I wanna grow
I'd say I want it but I don't know how
I work, I bleed, I beg and I pray
but I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

prove yourself
prove yourself
prove yourself

why?
