John And Elvis Are Dead

作词 : MICHAEL, GEORGE

作曲 : MICHAEL, GEORGE

Close friend of mine as a child

Fell into a slumber

No sign of life since seventy-five

Then one day he just what do you know

I guess God just called his number

We called me up he called me up and said

I've been awake about a week

I'm thinking about asking the doctor

If he could put me back to sleep

Then he laughed and said

Hey all the girls they look the same

Don't they know just what their mothers

Paid in blood and tears to change

But the words that made me cry

The thing he softly said

It stayed with me it keeps messing with my head

He said If Jesus Christ is alive and well

Then how come John and Elvis are dead

Youth beautiful youth

We walked through the walls until we found the truth

And said Change it

It's ugly just change it

Everyone we used to know

Must have given up so long ago

You can see it

It's written on their faces

And the inside of their clothes

But the words that made me cry

'Cos I knew just what they meant

He turned to me and said

Hey boy if Jesus Christ is alive and well

Then how come John and Elvis are dead

Tell me if Jesus Christ is alive and well

Then how come Marvin and Elvis are dead

I said If Jesus Christ is going to save us from ourselves

How come peace love and Elvis are dead
