The Death Song Lyrics
We're on a bullet and were headed straight into god
Even he'd like to end it too
We take a pill, get a face, buy our ticket
And we hope heaven is true
I saw a cop beat a priest on the T.V.
And I know they killed our heroes too
We sing the death song kids
Because we got no future
And we wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We sing the death song kids
We light a candle on a earth we made into hell
And we pretend that we're in heaven
Each time we do we get the blind man's ticket
And we know that nothing is true
I saw a priest kill a cop on the TV
And I know they're our heroes too
We sing the death song kids
Because we got no future
And we wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We sing the death song kids
We sing the death song kids
We sing the death song kids
We sing the death song kids
We write our prayers on a little bomb
Kiss it on the face and send it to God
We sing the death song kids
Because we got no future
And we wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We were the world, but we got no future
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We were the world, but we got no future
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We sing the death song kids
...with jesus our king
Even he'd like to end it too
We take a pill, get a face, buy our ticket
And we hope heaven is true
I saw a cop beat a priest on the T.V.
And I know they killed our heroes too
Because we got no future
And we wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We sing the death song kids
And we pretend that we're in heaven
Each time we do we get the blind man's ticket
And we know that nothing is true
I saw a priest kill a cop on the TV
And I know they're our heroes too
Because we got no future
And we wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We sing the death song kids
We sing the death song kids
We sing the death song kids
We write our prayers on a little bomb
Kiss it on the face and send it to God
Because we got no future
And we wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We were the world, but we got no future
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We were the world, but we got no future
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you
We wanna be just like you

i think its just talking about how the world is ending soon as it literally sez and how we all have no future because we're all destroying civilisation.
i think it also about suicide.
"we take a pill, get a face buy our ticket and we hope that heaven's true"
these lines seem to back up that theory.
To me this song is about the world and life in general. About how the world is just a complete mess right now and that it's only getting worse. It's gotten so bad that "Even God wants to end it too." This symbolizes a sense of hopelessness, and maybe goes with the armagedon theory of the Christians. Anyways We're singing the death song b/c there's no hope for us. We have no future in a world of dependence and conformity. And what kind of future is that when you end up like everyone else anyways? Thats right, it's not one.
I know your post is from 2005, and you probably don't even remember your login (so you won't see my reply, but that's okay). I like your view of the song. But you wrote "the armagedon theory of the Christians" - don't forget nearly every religion has some kind of armageddon to it.

There's something great about hearing the chorus "no future", ala Sex Pistols' God Save the Queen.

FUCK YEAH!
Great song!
FUCK YEAH!!! this song kicks ass!!!
I'm agree with Overlord. all the song fits. It also kinda critisism to the religion, which considerin' all of us to only a people... and eventually, we all end the same.
I always thought the whole thing was about religeon. "we take a pill, get a face buy our ticket and we hope that heaven's true" seems to me like the idea of devoting one's self to a religeon and hopeing with blind faith that it's all true.
Also "we light a candle on an earth we made into hell and pretend that we're in heaven"
A coment on how relgeon has cocked up the world yet tries to appear riteous... meh my interpretation... too tired to go into any great detail.
