“Deadhead” is the fourth song on The Teen Idles' Minor Disturbance 7" EP. It is an attack on Deadhead culture from the punk rock point of view.
Deadhead, deadhead, take another toke
Deadhead, deadhead, you're a lousy joke
Friend of the devil, who you trying to kid?
Friends of the devil are dead like Sid
I'll be grateful when you're dead
I'll be grateful when you're dead
I'll be grateful when you're dead
So don't stick around too long
Deadhead, deadhead, take another toke
Deadhead, deadhead, you're a lousy joke
Friend of the devil, who you trying to kid?
Friends of the devil are dead like Sid
I'll be grateful when you're dead
I'll be grateful when you're dead
I'll be grateful when you're dead
So don't stick around too long
Riding that train, high on cocaine
The music is really lousy, the fans are a pain
Troubles behind, troubles ahead
The only good Deadhead is one that's dead
Deadhead, deadhead, take another toke
Deadhead, deadhead, you're a lousy joke
Friend of the devil, who you trying to kid?
Friends of the devil are dead like Sid
I'll be grateful when you're dead
I'll be grateful when you're dead
I'll be grateful when you're dead
So don't stick around too long
So don't stick around too long
So don't stick around too long!
