Lyrics
Little boys in Africa
Grandma choking on paprika.

Death is always a drag
and depression is sad
there are no extra lives
except in Mario land.
When you die in a game
you just rekindle the flame
forget the immortal soul
there's no consoling the console.

Luigi's sick in bed
and Mario's dead
because they ate a blue mushroom
when they thought it was red.

That would never happen
in a videogame
you would reset the power
or load an old save.
Death is powerless
when the power is on
you're the controller
everything is your pawn.

We're dying all the time but in ways we'll never feel.
When you finally die, how will you know that it is real?
