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      [sampled voices]      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
