Then after that, you're on your own.

LYRICS:

Oh no, pop is dead, long live pop

It died an ugly death by back-catalogue

And now you know it gets you nowhere

And now you know, you realize

Oh no, pop is dead, it just gave up

We raised the dead, but they won't stand up.

And radio has salmonella

And now you know you're gonna die

So what pop is dead, it's no great loss,

So many facelifts, his face flew off.

The emperor has no clothes on,

And his skin is peeling of

Oh no, pop is dead, long live pop

One final line of coke to jack him off

He left this message for us...

He's dead ! He's dead ! He's dead !
