Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Don't sing if you want to live long

They have no use for your song

You're dead, you're dead, you're dead

You're dead and out of this world

[Verse 2]

You'll never get a second chance

Plan all your moves in advance

Stay dead, stay dead, stay dead

Stay dead and out of this world

[Verse 3]

Run fast, don't stand in the sun

There's too much work to be done

You're down, you're down, you're down

You're down and out of this world

[Verse 4]

Don't ever talk with your eyes

Be sure that you compromise

You're dead, you're dead, you're dead

You're dead and out of this world

[Verse 5]

Hear the unloved weeping like rain

Guard your sleep from the sound of their pain

Long gone, long gone, long gone

Long gone and out of this world

[Verse 6]

When you smile and it tears your face

It's time for the inhuman race

You're down, you're down, you're down

You're down and out of this world

[Verse 7]

Now your hope and compassion is gone

You sold out your dream to the world

Stay dead, stay dead, stay dead

You're dead and out of this world
