(Dead)acation
- For Dad -
…..Who went out the way he wanted…… …..See you in “When dead is Deader”……
When dead is dead
Some will be hung
And some will be drown
Some will be shot and never found
Some will be burned
And some will be fried
Some will be horribly electrified
Some will be poisoned
And some will be stoned
Some will be brutally striped to the bone.
Some will be stomped
And some will be bound
Some will be buried alive underground
Some will be chocked
And some will be stabbed
Some will be quartered and sliced up in labs
Some will be crushed
And some will be beaten
Some will be maimed by wild and eaten
Some will be splattered
And some will be dust
Some will mysteriously spontaneous combust
Some will be pushed
And some will be dragged
Some will be smothered with plastic bags
Some will be drugged
And some will explode
Some will be buried to their necks and mowed
But either way it’s as you’ve read
It doesn’t matter when dead is dead
As good as dead
When dead is dead As good as dead I write down words, Within my head I’ll try not to laugh Or make you cry I want so much, To sympathi’ But what good for you If I’m not I I have to write To make me my I’ll make you famous, With words I say In my book, You’ll forever stay So if I laugh, Instead of cry
It’s because I’m thinking, Of the way you die Alive you’ll stay But in my head You’re just a page away From when dead is dead
