[Intro]
SHINDA!
Dead, dead, another day dead
Head, arms, and legs gonna fall off any minute now
Whole body hollowed out, dry as a desert...
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
[Verse 1]
Spending every day like you’re in a casket, trapped
Ready for another night like the dead, collapsed
Yeah, living like a carcass with just your “life” intact...
Who wouldn’t want a way to con themselves out of that?
Breaking away from ideas of “should do”
To live for yourself—that’s lots of fun, too...
Otherwise you’re just being a mark...
And who wants that?
[Pre-Chorus]
You and I, we’re just corpses
Pawns of some facеless necromancer
From onе marionette to another, I say...
How about we cut our strings together?
Let’s get dancing!
[Chorus]
Dead, dead, another day dead
Head, arms, and legs gonna fall off any minute now
Whole body hollowed out, dry as a desert...
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Dead, dead, we’re already dead
Gonna shake off this mortal coil any minute now
You just gotta laugh a life like this off!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
[Post-Chorus]
I tell you, this world makes life so hard
What can you do but dance the whole night through?
Even if I collapse and my body decays
That doesn’t mean I’m rotten all the way down to my soul!
[Verse 2]
Spending each day inside a casket, trapped
You scrape up little bits of joy to add to your stash
You whisper, “Just being alive, that’s enough happiness”
Smothering your voice as you smother yourself
Quietly lured into going through life
As unseen and unheard as you can be
And next thing you know, you’ve faded away—
Like the invisible man
[Pre-Chorus]
You know you aren't just a pawn
It's up to you to be yourself instead
Don’t worry, I’m here with you...
Wanna ride that revolutionary rhythm together?
Make some noise!
[Chorus]
Screwed, screwed, another day screwed
No chance at dreams, no chance at hope
Pounding out a body-rending beat—
Zum, pop, pop, pop!
Screwed, screwed, we’re already screwed
Whole way of life gonna crumble any minute now
But let’s set that all aside for now...
Zum, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop!
[Interlude]
Spending tonight aimless
Every night wandering, directionless
We’re all ready to depart this world
To come together at the witching hour
Stuffed into caskets
Bound up forever
Being something else’s pawn...
If life’s like that, who needs it?!
[Chorus]
Dead, dead, another day dead
Head, arms, and legs gonna fall off any minute now
Whole body hollowed out, dry as a desert...
Ha, ha, ha, ha!
Dead, dead, we’re already dead
Gonna shake off this mortal coil any minute now
You just gotta laugh a life like this off!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
[Post-Chorus]
I tell you, this world makes life so hard
What can you do but dance the whole night through?
Even if I collapse and my body decays
That doesn’t mean I’m rotten all the way down...
Let’s party ’til we dance ourselves down to the bone!
