Dead! Lyrics

And if your heart stops beating,
I'll be here wondering;
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life.

And if you get to Heaven,
I'll be here waiting, babe,
Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait,
Then your heart can't take this!

[Chorus:]
Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say,
I think they never liked you anyway.
Oh, take me from the hospital bed!
Wouldn't it be grand?
It ain't exactly what you planned,
And wouldn't it be great if
We were dead.
Oh, dead.

Tongue-tied and oh-so squeamish,
You never fell in love,
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life.

And if you get to Heaven,
I'll be here waiting, babe;
Did you get what you deserve?
The end and if your life won't wait,
Then your heart can't take this!

[Chorus:]
Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say,
I think they never liked you anyway.
Oh, take me from the hospital bed!
Wouldn't it be grand to take a pistol by the hand,
And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?

And in my honest observation,
During this operation,
Found a complication,
In your heart, so long.
'Cause now you've got,
Maybe just two weeks to live,
I said, "Is that the most the both of you can give!"

(Guitar solo)

One, two,
One, two, three, four!
La la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Well c'mon
La la la la la
La la la la l'oh la
La la la la la la la

(Continue lalala)

Oh, motherfucker
If life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke
Then why am I dead?

Dead!
