living colour
elvis is dead
Tabloids scream Elvis seen at a shopping mall That's the kind of talk That makes my stomach crawl  Picture a zombie Elvis In a tacky white jump suit Just imagine a rotting Elvis Shopping for fresh fruit  You can't 'cause  [Chorus] Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead  When the king died He was all alone I heard that when he died He was sitting on his throne  Alas poor Elvis They made us know you well Now you dwell forever In the Heartbreak Hotel  [Chorus]  Elvis was a hero to most But that's beside the point A Black man taught him how to sing And then he was crowned king  The pelvis of Elvis Too dangerous for the masses  They cleaned him up and sent him to Vegas Now the masses are his slave Slave? Slave Yes, even from the grave  Elvis is dead  I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland  [Chorus]
