Lyrics for Dead! as interpreted by veosoco

Dead! Lyrics
And if your heart stops beating
I'll be here wondering
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life
And if you get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what you planned
And wouldn't it be great If we were dead.
Ohh dead

Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish
You never fell in love
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life
And if you get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?
The end, and if your life won't wait
Then your heart can't take this

Have you heard the news that you're dead?
No one ever had much nice to say
I think they never liked you anyway
Oh take me from the hospital bed
Wouldn't it be grand to take a pistol by the hand?
And wouldn't it be great if we were dead

And in my honest observation
During this operation
Found a complication in your heart
So long, 'cause now you've got
Maybe just two weeks to live
Is that the most both of you can give?

One, two, one two three four!

LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!
Well come on,
LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA!
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!
Oh motherfucker,

If life ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why are we laughing? (LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
If life ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why are we laughing?
If life ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why are we laughing? (LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
If like ain't just a joke (LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!)
Then why am I dead?
DEAD!

To me this sounds almost like The Patient's sarcastic or bitter view on what's happening to him, as he starts to come to terms with it, I dunno, maybe i'm wrong? :P

Dead! When I hear Dead! my frown turns upside down, this song is nothing without "The End", the song before it. To me it's about a boy, who just happened to wake up dead, and see all his family and friends, those who cared, and those who could of cared less. He finds out death is not what he expected, and not what he feared, but in the end to me the song is a sarcastic appology to the world he once new, and a joyful hello to the world that awaits him. With this song, no I take that back, with this entire album, I see an explaniton of the beauty in death, and noone is wrong with how the interpret music, its what they see, and what they feel. This song is one of my favorites from MCR, I love it, I rate it 5 fucking stars, because thats what it is

It's not telling the story of the patient. Part of the album isn't about the patient, but about the philosophy of death. While some may feel depressed about dying young, or too early

Tongue-tied and oh so squeamish
You never fell in love
Did you get what you deserve?
The ending of your life

the afterlife may be much better than life on earth

And if you get to heaven
I'll be here waiting, babe
Did you get what you deserve?

I don't know what some of the other lyrics mean, but that's my interpretation of those.

dear god i luv this song but its not about a boy. it says babe.i really dont think that its a guy. well i think its about a grl who was never the nicest person in the room but had a good personality no one wanted to get to kno. and before she got to experience anything she died young but still she really doesnt care because she really doesnt feel like its all worth while

Best lines on the entire album. Life is just so much more tolerable with this mentality.

the patient never fell in love and has he got all he can get from life and that nobody likes him and he's got two weeks to live and he whants more he wonders what people will thiink when they find out he's dead but he thinks well noone will have much nice to say and if life is so important then why do we die? it's random and mental very good though =]

This song always makes me laugh. It opens with the sound of a heart monitor flatlining... right before we get a big 'YEEEAAAAAHHHHH!' and a big widdly guitar solo. I'm dead! Yeah! Party time! Plus the la-la-la-la-la part. Good song.

i think this song doesn't have too many comments because it's pretty obvious what it's about, i mean, the title says it all
anyway this is an awesome song it totally makes me feel better about the idea of death, i'm not so scared of it anymore..

Great song.. its just bitter sweet.. well the patient's dying and he's thinking about his life and its just sad to die cuz he never fell in love, but then perhapes dying is good cuz it'll be the end of his misery, and maybe a better afterlife.

and he's thinking that when he dies, it won't really matter to anyone "think they never liked you anyway" so he's just given in to death. "wouldn't it be great if we were dead"

maybe the saddest part is that during the operation "Found a complication in your heart" why the heart and not anything else? i think it just means he's lost heart to live, juz heart broken.. death prolly will be more of a salvation to him.

This whole song is about a bad person(bad meaning cynical and concieted in this circumstance) who is dying. hence the the whole "did you get what you deserve?' thing.mkay? goody.

I heard the album is about his parents' death but this song doesn't fit that as well as the others, seeing as his parents probably did fall in love and probably weren't so hated, but I wouldn't know for sure. And I love the last lines.
