Elvis Is Dead Lyrics - Time's Up - Living Colour

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]
