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
