They Will Love You

You wanna be a dead superstar and live large
Dead Celeb came to raise the bar
Up from when Hendrix played guitar
Right down to your phony ass A&R
John Lennon dies, the world is stunned
What if Mark Chapman didn't shoot that gun
The same one who sang give 'give peace a chance'
Was the same one who died from violent hands
So should we all take a silent stance
So celebrities are targets from irate fans
'Cuz I know something smells like teen spirit
Something smells like teen spirit
And if someone yells can we hear it
Or we gotta be dead for you to listen to the lyrics
Wake up from that sleepy trance
'Cuz tonight, even the dead will dance
They will love you when you're dead
It don't matter who you are
Just as long as you can be
A dead super, superstar
They will love you when you're dead
It don't matter who you are
Just as long as you can be
A dead super, superstar
They will love you when you're dead, dead, dead, ooh
They will love you when you're dead
We are all stars in the filthy sky
But they only love you when you die
Fame is a game that will eat you alive
While 99 Red Balloons go by
Throw me in a coffin, Andy Kaufmann
Make a legend like Janis Joplin
Play punk rock like Johnny Rotten
Success is death, the 2Pac option
Guns on my head, die for this
Or I'd shoot my way up the billboard charts
Now I got a number one song
They love it when you're dead and gone
Fame is an illusion, a magic trick
And I'm not a Chris Angel advocate
So run, run for the hills
Fall, fall from the sky
Do they really love you when you die, die
They will love you when you're dead
It don't matter who you are
Just as long as you can be
A dead super, superstar
They will love you when you're dead
It don't matter who you are
Just as long as you can be
A dead super, superstar
We are, shameless
We are, dead famous
We are, faithless
We have finally made it
We are, shameless
We are, dead famous
We are, faithless
We have finally made it
They will love you when you're dead
It don't matter who you are
Just as long as you can be
A dead super, superstar
They will love you when you're dead
It don't matter who you are
Just as long as you can be
A dead super, superstar
They will love you when you're dead, dead, dead, ooh
They will love you when you're dead, dead, dead, ooh
They will love you when you're, They will love you when you're (ooh)
They will love you when you're dead
Dead, dead, dead
Dead, dead, dead
