about

Have you ever heard someone you knew died and wasn't sure how to feel about it? Then this song is for you.

lyrics

Knew a guy named John
Guess we sort of lost touch
See the thing was
We never liked him very much
Didn't go to his birthdays or
The cookout in his yard
And when it was Christmas
Didn't even send a card

Bridge
So imagine how we felt
When we go the news today
Under unexpected circumstances
John had passed away
Was it a heart attack?
Was it a bullet to his head?
John is dead

Chorus
John is dead John is dead
Should we have a celebration say a eulogy instead
John is dead John is dead
Do i even care that he'll never breath the air cause John is dead

So we thought we'd give old Johnny
The send of he deserves
And we put on our best suits
And we went out to the service
And when someone would ask me
Of John I would defend
And I would tell those people
That John was my best friend

I thought of the times we shared
And a tear came to my eye
Cause it was pretty clear
That I kind of missed the guy
Was it a heart attack?
Was it a bullet to his head?
John is dead

Chorus

Bridge: Were we friends on Facebook
Maybe but if so
i stopped liking his pictures
Quite some time ago
Who cared what he was eating
Or his stupid dialogue
And did anyone appreciate
The pictures of his dog

And so I sat there mourning
It was so clear to me
How deeply I was saddened
By the loss of dear Johnny
And so after the service
We all got good and plastered
And cried and wept and talked about
How much we missed that bastard

So I'll drink a glass to you
cause you made me a believer
I know when I die that
no one's gonna care much either
So I'll see you in heaven
We can laugh at those blockheads
When we're both dead
