If I Was Dead

Cobain was a junky loser they said then he took a shotgun and blew off his head
Now he’s a genius now that he’s dead
Marylin’s talked about like she’s royalty before she was killed by Kennedy
She didn’t do a thing
Mama Cass choked, Lane Staley croaked, Elvis didn’t od it was all a hoax
Saw him pumping gas just the other day
If I was dead would you remember my name?
Cuz I didn’t blow off my face or roll my car in a drag race
Cuz I didn’t live for the thrill or od on a bunch of pills
You know if I was dead everything would change
You’d light candles and visit my grave if I was dead
James dean could have been a star he made three movies and crashed his car
So much for the rebel without a cause
Now Johnny Carson was no sham, neither was his sidekick Ed McMahon
Nowadays you don’t hear much about
Cory Haim, David Blaine, he’s not dead but that’s a crying shame
I saw him levitate just the other day
