[Intro]

Yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]

And if your heart stops beating

I'll be here wondering

Did you get what you deserve?

The ending of your life

[Pre-Chorus]

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?

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, dead

[Verse 2]

Tongue-tied and oh, so squeamish

You never fell in love

Did you get what you deserve?

The ending of your life

[Pre-Chorus]

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?

[Bridge]

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

Is that the most the both of you can give?

[Guitar Solo]

[Breakdown]

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, come on

La la la la la, la la la la la la

La la la la la la la, oh, motherfucker

[Outro]

(La la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)

If life ain't just a joke, then why are we laughing?

(La la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)

If life ain't just a joke, then why are we laughing?

(La la la la la, la la la la la la, la la la la la la la)

If life ain't just a joke, then why are we laughing?

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la)

If life ain't just a joke, then why am I dead?

Dead
