Lyrics
Dead Means Dead
By Smartass Amoeba
verseDarth Maul died
Boba Fett died
Anyone who says otherwise
Is selling you a lie
pre-chorusCut in half, fall down a bottomless hole
Yeah... you're dead
Sucked down a sarlacc pit... thousand-year meal
Yeah... you're dead
chorusDead means dead, or it used to be
Before the rewrites and the legacy
Ghosts and clones and "somehow he's back"
Death don't stick in a galaxy like that
verseCassian? dead
Qui-Gon? dead
Yoda? dead
Obi-Wan? dead
Han Solo dead dead DEAD
Princess Leia walked through space instead
Not dead then... but eventually... dead
chorusDead means dead, or it used to be
Before the rewrites and the legacy
Ghosts and clones and "somehow he's back"
Death don't stick in a galaxy like that
versePadme? dead
Anakin's mom? dead
Vader's dad... it's complicated
Jabba? dead
Greedo? dead
Yeah ... another one just dead
chorusDead means dead, or it used to be
Before the rewrites and the legacy
Ghosts and clones and "somehow he's back"
Death don't stick in a galaxy like that
bridgeIf falling, burning, stabbing ain't enough
Then what's the point of calling any bluff?
If death's a door that swings both ways
We're just counting exits, not the graves
chorusDead means dead, or it used to be
Before the rewrites and the legacy
Ghosts and clones and "somehow he's back"
Death don't stick in a galaxy like that
outroSay it plain, don't twist the thread
They are gone... they are dead
...until they weren't
