I don't care about your karma
I don't care about what's hip
No space cadet's gonna tell me what to do
I won't swim in your Jacuzzi
You can't make me settle down
I'd rather kick and jump and bite and scratch,
And scream until I'm blue
I may as well be hyper,
As long as I'm still around
'Cause I'll have lots of time to be laid back,
When I'm six feet under ground
CHORUS:
I'll be mellow when I'm dead (6 times)
When are you
Cosmic cowboys
Gonna get it through your head
I'll be mellow when I'm dead (6 times)
I can't stand the smell of incense
I don't really like to jog
No Joni Mitchell eight-tracks in my car (ooh)
I hate anything organic
Even health food makes me sick
You won't catch me sipping Perrier
Down in some sushi bar
I tell you, now's the time to go for
All the gusto you can gra
You'll have plenty of time to be low-key
When you're laid out on the sla
CHORUS
I don't want no part of that vegetarian scene
I won't buy me a pair of designer jeans
No redwood hot tub to my name
I got all that I want,
And if it's all the same to you,
I don't need a course in self-awareness
To find out who I am
And I'd rather have a
Big Mac or a Jumbo Jack
Than all the bean sprouts in Japan!
So don't ask me what I'm into
I don't need to prove I'm cool
I'll break your arm,
If you ask me what's my sign
I won't tell you where my head's at
I don't need to see no shrink
Psychosis may be in this year,
But I'm really not that kind,
And I'm in no hurry to be casual
In fact I think I'll wait
Until I'm pushing up the daisies
(Like, wow, man, can you relate?)
I'll be mellow when I'm dead (9 times)
