Elvis Is Dead
Living Colour Tabloids scream That's the kind of talk Elvis seen at a shopping mall That makes my stomach crawl Picture a zombie Elvis In a tacky white jump suit Just imagine a rotting Elvis Shopping for fresh fruit You can't 'cause Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead He was all alone When the king died I heard that when he died He was sitting on his throne Alas poor Elvis They made us know you well Now you dwell forever In the Heartbreak Hotel But that's beside the point Elvis was a hero to most And then he was crowned king A Black man taught him how to sing Too dangerous for the masses The pelvis of Elvis Slave? Slave They cleaned him up and sent him to Vegas Now the masses are his slave Yes, even from the grave Elvis is dead [sampled voices] We all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland |
