LYRICS:
Oh no, pop is dead, long live pop
It died an ugly death by back-catalogue
And now you know it gets you nowhere
And now you know, you realize
Oh no, pop is dead, it just gave up
We raised the dead, but they won't stand up.
And radio has salmonella
And now you know you're gonna die
So what pop is dead, it's no great loss,
So many facelifts, his face flew off.
The emperor has no clothes on,
And his skin is peeling of
Oh no, pop is dead, long live pop
One final line of coke to jack him off
He left this message for us...
He's dead ! He's dead ! He's dead !
