George Washington was the president 
But now he's dead (dead) 
Mackenzie King was Prime Minister 
But now he's dead (dead) 

So don't go into politics 
You'll end up dead 
Don't go into politics 
You'll end up dead 

Oppenheimer built the bomb 
But now he's dead (dead) 
Einstien was very very smart 
But not enough not to be dead (dead) 

So don't go into science 
You'll end up dead 
Don't go into science 
You'll end up dead 
And don't go into politics 
You'll end up dead 
Don't go into politics 
You'll end up dead 

Jimi Hendrix, Janice Joplin, Brian Jones, Keith Moon, 
Jim Morrison, Roy Orbison, 
John Lennon, Bob Marley, Leonard Bernstien, Elvis Presley 
Well, we're not too sure about Elvis 
But I think you get the point 

Don't go into music 
You'll end up dead 
Don't go into music 
You'll end up dead 
And don't go into science 
You'll end up dead 
Don't go into politics 
You'll end up dead 

Break it down 
You'll be burned, you'll be fried 
You'll be buried alive 
And there's no hope thinkin' 
That you're gonna survive 
'Cause there's the drowning and choking 
And cancer from smoking 
And smothered while sleeping 
And blood will start seeping 

So I have found, you'll end up in the ground 
And you'll be dead 
So I have found, you'll end up in the ground 
I wish there was an option instead 
But you'll be dead 
Dead 
Maybe with a bullet in your head 
But you'll be dead 
Dead 
Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very dead
