Lyrics
Seen plenty of people all over the years
From heroes to half-bloods, with their pitiful tears
Thinkin' that they'll save a loved one from below
Oh, no, oh, no, oh, no
They think they'll pop down for a quick trip
But it don't work like that!
So kids, here's a tip
You ain't gettin' out
We gotcha and we ain't lettin' go
Oh, no, oh, no
Down here you're D.O.A
And you're here to stay
Yeah, you're stuck forever, never get away
No hope of survival
You're dead on arrival!
What do you think of my song?
It's great
Was that James Brown?
We have all the greats down here!
Mozart, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain
Who do you feel like listening to?
Ooh! Um, do you have any Josh Groban?
Mm, we will, eventually
I ferry the souls of the newly deceased
I got a sweet ride, it was newly leased!
And if the dead complain, I just
Turn up the stereo
We get our kicks 'cross the River Styx
It's a permanent trip, so don't try no tricks
Gentleman and ladies
It's Hades who runs the show
Oh, look, it's the Vienna Boys' Choir
They crashed their bus on the way to sing for the Vatican
They're kids
They're lucky!
Their voices will never change now
Down here you're D.O.A
And you're here to stay
Yeah, you're stuck forever, never get away
No hope of survival
You're dead!
Who has two turntables and three sick heads?
Everybody give it up for D.J. Cerberus!
D.O.A
D.O.A
Down here you're D.O.A
And you're here to stay
Yeah, you're stuck forever, never get away
No hope of survival
You're dead on arrival!
Dead on arrival, oh-oh-oh
Can't get, can't get away
Can't get away 'cause you're D.O.A. now
(Can't get, can't get away) ooh-ooh, yeah
D.O.A., D.O.A
You ain't ever gonna save what matters (can't get, can't get away)
You ain't gonna protect your friends (can't get, can't get away)
You ain't ever gonna be remembered (can't get, can't get away)
This is where your story ends today
All
D.O.A.
