I'd Rather Be Ashes Than Dust

from See You On The Other Side by Sunspot

about

I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.
- Jack London

lyrics

'fore I was born my mother did her best to die
but the bottle and the bullet didn't kill her
So I came out a little stronger, stronger than the average guy
Gonna write my bio as a thriller

Ohh ohh
I got to hit the road
ohh ohh
Don't you hear the call
I'm gonna go out shooting 'fore my body turns to rust
cuz I'd rather be ashes than dust

Half a world away is where I will find my passion
Someone told me that there's mountains full of gold
Headfirst into the fray looking for some action
I've got to see this world before I'm old

Ohh ohh
I got to hit the road
ohh ohh
Don't you hear the call
I'm gonna go out shooting 'fore my body turns to rust
cuz I'd rather be ashes than dust
