You have to hope when hope is senseless, son

Remember

Certain you're ready? (Remember)

No last minute plea? (Remember, remember)

Bring it! (Remember)

Hit me!

You've got to breathe

When breath is useless

You've got to love when love is gone

You've got to carry on

Bart, you've got to carry on!

Bart Simpson

Trust you to bungle dying

That was a reflex!

I wasn't trying!

You've got to keep your eyes open

When all you can see is shit

Never surrender the world

Never turn from it!

Gyah!

You just startled me

I'm ready to die!

Dear boy, your savage pose says that's a lie

I'm gonna prove myself—

Stop the music!—

This moment, you own it, better not let it go

You've only taken two shots, do not miss your chance

Don't blow this opportunity to end my lifetime

Come on, Bart (Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum)

Get yourself into place (Bum bum bum bum)

Face the long goodbye (Bum bum bum bum)

The final sigh (Bum bum bum bum)

Sayonara, suckers (Bum bum bum bum)

Cold, cruel world, toodaloo (Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum)

Burns! Snap to it (Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum)

Let's see what you can do! (Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum)

I'm not gonna strain to dispatch you (Bum bum bum bum)

There's no escape hatch for you (Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum)

This boat is spinning on a river (Bum bum bum bum)

In a world that's wrong (Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum)

Your family gone (Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum)

The forest on fire (Bum bum bum bum)

There's no life to aspire to (Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum)

No air, no earth that won't expire you (Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum)

And if you could learn to hope again, and to conquer dread (Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum)

Yes, that's right, Ghost Simpsons

I'm not deaf!

I've been perfectly aware of your off-key musical maunderings from the beginning

Ghost Simpsons?

It wouldn't matter, Little Bartlett

You'd still be just as dead, dead, dead!

Mom?

Dad?

Nothing protects us, nothing holds us (Love when love is gone) (Breathe when breath is useless)

Nothing leads us on (You've got to carry on)

But we stumble ahead anyway (Love when love is gone) (Hope when hope is senseless)

We scrape, we bleed, we bite (You've got to carry on)

You're going to fight and fight and—

Fight

And fight

And fight and fight and fight!

Itchy!

Scratchy!

Fight

And fight

And fight and fight and fight!

There's no one looking after me

Just shadows and their history

There's nothing for me up ahead

The river curves and then I'm dead

But I believe that I'm going to stick around

For another second or two

Because I've never done what I've been told

And, Burns, you don't want me to

I believe I'm going to stick around

For another second or two

I'm going to make a little trouble

Gonna cause a hullabaloo!
