Pop Is Dead Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 radio has salmonella

So many facelifts, his face flew off
The emperor really has no clothes on
And his skin is peeling off
Oh no, pop is dead, long live pop
One final line of coke to jack him off
Jack him off
[Chorus]
He left this message for us
He left this message for us
He left this message for us
