If Life Were a Result, We'd All Be Dead is the fifth and final full-length album released by the North Vancouver punk band d.b.s. It was released by Crap Records in February 2000. Although their final full-length, the songs on this album were actually recorded in 1997, before their previous album.[2] The songs were intended to be released on various singles, but this plan never came to fruition.

The band's music on this album has been likened to Lifetime and Jawbreaker, marking an "awkward transition" from the political lyrics of I Is for Insignificant to the more personal lyrics of Some Boys Got It, Most Men Don't.[3]
