Long Live the Dead Guy - Johnny Socko

Vladimir Lenin had a stoic jaw line

But he got very bored of that and this

He got bored of the old folks and their troubles

Then he got bored stiff of rigormortis

Vlad had a bad cold and he sneezed

His union preserved him but his mother knew

No matter how hard you kick the bucket son

It will survive you

…and the people roared

«Long live the dead guy!»

He’s had a great life and I want my slice

…and the people roared

«Long live the dead guy!»

He’s had a great life and I want my slice

If the guards aren’t watching I’ll get a piece to call mine

Cause he looks so nice in double-breasted formaldehyde

Like Dionysus or Jesus Christ

Very good looking and great with rice

We rushed passed the guards as we were on the make

It was Vlad under glass-- there was nothing to take

We went home disappointed and baked a cake

In the likeness of Vlad and we ate and we ate

…and the people roared

«Long live the dead guy!»

He’s had a great life

And I want my slice

…and the people roared

«Long live the dead guy!»

He’s had a great life and I want my slice

Vlad had a gift for luck of action

He had violence in frowns and a nice green suit

Saw-dust for a heart and a formaldehyde brain

But the envy of everyone just the same

He put it to the czar and his family

With grace of genius and executioner’s style

His friend and his comrades they all knew

They needed a great one and he would do

…and the people roared

«Long live the dead guy!»

He’s had a great life

And I want my slice

…and the people roared

«Long live the dead guy!»

He’s had a great life and I want my slice
