When You're Dead Songtext
von The Pleasures

You can listen to an old CD
You can worry ′bout the eggs in your bed
You can waste your time with TV
But you can't rock ′n' roll when you're dead
You can deny to be a fag
You can be Nintendo mad
You can sing for revolution
But you can′t rock ′n' roll when you′re dead

When you're dead
Oh, you can′t rock 'n′ roll when you're dead
Oh, you can't rock ′n′ roll when you're dead
And you can′t lose control when you're dead
So do it now without pushing dreams ahead
Oh, you can′t rock 'n′ roll when you're dead
Oh, you can't rock ′n′ roll when you're dead
And you can′t lose control when you're dead
So do it now without pushing dreams ahead


You can go and pay for your bills
You can take some time to feel sad
Read old must-read classics
But you can′t rock 'n′ roll when you're dead
You can wait for green traffic lights
You can argue with your mom and dad
You can wait in a cash row
But you can't rock ′n′ roll when you're dead

When you′re dead
Oh, you can't rock ′n' roll when you′re dead
Oh, you can't rock 'n′ roll when you′re dead
And you can't lose control when you′re dead
So do it now without pushing dreams ahead
Oh, you can't rock ′n' roll when you′re dead
Oh, you can't rock 'n′ roll when you′re dead
And you can't lose control when you′re dead
So do it now without pushing dreams ahead

Waste all your money and get paper spent
And be aware of this
Don't die with money in your sack
With honky supplies


Oh, you can′t rock 'n′ roll when you're dead
Oh, you can't rock ′n′ roll when you're dead
Oh, you can′t lose control when you're dead
And do it now without pushing dreams ahead
You can′t rock 'n′ roll when you're dead
Oh, you can't rock ′n′ roll when you're dead
And you can′t lose control when you're dead
So do it now without pushing dreams ahead

Oh, you can′t go wild when you're dead
Oh, you can′t be styled when you're dead
You can still be mild when you're dead
So live it now without pushing dreams ahead
