You wanna be a dead superstar and live large
|
Dead Celeb came to raise the bar
|
Up from when Hendrix played guitar,
|
Right down to your phony ass A&R.
|
John Lennon dies, the world is stunned
|
What if Mark Chapman didn't shoot that gun
|
The same one who sang give 'give peace a chance'
|
Was the same one who died from violent hands
|
So should we all take a silent stance
|
So celebrities are targets from irate fans
|
'Cuz I know something smells like teen spirit
|
Something smells like teen spirit
|
And if someone yells can we hear it
|
Or we gotta be dead for you to listen to the lyrics.
|
Wake up from that sleepy trance
|
'Cuz tonight, even the dead will dance.
|
|
They will love you when you're dead
|
It don't matter who you are
|
Just as long as you can be
|
A dead super, superstar.
|
They will love you when you're dead
|
It don't matter who you are
|
Just as long as you can be
|
A dead super, superstar.
|
They will love you when you're dead
|
|
We are all stars in the filthy sky
|
But they only love you when you die
|
Fame is a game that will eat you alive
|
While 99 Red Balloons go by
|
Throw me in a coffin, Andy Kaufmann
|
Make a legend like Janis Joplin
|
Play punk rock like Johnny Rotten
|
Success is death, the 2Pac option.
|
Guns on my head, die for this,
|
Or I'd shoot my way up the billboard charts
|
Now I got a number one song,
|
They love it when you're dead and gone.
|
Fame is an illusion, a magic trick
|
And I'm not a Chris Angel advocate.
|
So run, run for the hills
|
Fall, fall from the sky
|
Do they really love you when you die, die
|
|
They will love you when you're dead
|
It don't matter who you are
|
Just as long as you can be
|
A dead super, superstar.
|
They will love you when you're dead
|
It don't matter who you are
|
Just as long as you can be
|
A dead super, superstar.
|
|
We are, shameless
|
We are, dead famous
|
We are, faithless
|
We have finally made it
|
We are, shameless
|
We are, dead famous
|
We are, faithless
|
We have finally made it
|
|
They will love you when you're dead
|
It don't matter who you are
|
Just as long as you can be
|
A dead super, superstar.
|
They will love you when you're dead
|
It don't matter who you are
|
Just as long as you can be
|
A dead super, superstar.
|
They will love you when you're dead
|
