He only thought he was going for the thrill of a ride
  Wasn't in the plan to be gone for long
  But he keeps looking back over his shoulder, yeah
  He knows that something might go wrong
  
  The ride it ain't smooth that is for sure
  Strange mood what is the cure
  He's got that feeling of impending doom
  Like being trapped in a casket inside a tomb, oh
  
  Death defied by will
  Like a drug that doesn't kill
  Boy you gotta learn what's true
  Death defied by will
  Like a drug that doesn't kill
  Oh, the joke is on you
  
  You ought to know better
  You ought to know better
  
  Now, he is determined to outsmart this snake
  With conviction he will stand his ground
  Feeling invincible like death itself
  But his immortality won't be found
  
  What should he say at his own wake
  That he refuses to fulfil his fate
  He doesn't know that this is his last drive
  On the road we call alive
  
  Death defied by will
  Like a drug that doesn't kill
  Boy you gotta learn what's true
  Death defied by will
  Like a drug that doesn't kill
  Now the joke is on you
  
  Now the time has come
  You can't play around, and you ought to know
  You ought to know better
  You ought to know better
  
  Death defied by will
  Like a drug that doesn't kill
  Boy you gotta learn what's true
  Death defied by will
  Like a drug that doesn't kill
  Now the joke is on you
  
  You ought to know better
  You ought to know better
  
  Ala-la-la-la-laa
  
  Death defied by will
  Like a drug that doesn't kill
  Boy you gotta learn what's true
  Death defied by will
  Like a drug that doesn't kill
  Now the joke is on, the joke is on you
  
  (You ought to know better)
  Oh, joke is on you
  (You ought to know better)
  Oh, the joke is on you
  (You ought to know better)
  Ought to know better, yeah
  (You ought to know better, better, joke is on you)
  You ought to know better
