Dead to us
Dead to us
Dear actress, old actress, dead to us
Your career is shot
Not young, not hot
And dead to use
Quite dead to us
May not be completely worthless
Yeah, we all count you among the greats
Blah blah blah blah
But you knew it wouldn't last
The glorious past scene in your faith
The worm has turned
And so begins the rot
Here's what you're not
Not young, not hot
And dead to us
Quite dead to us
Dear actress, old actress
You're dead to us
Step into the threshing machine
Your blood, sweat, and tears are the fodder
What beautiful fields to grow
A new star for the leading role
For three times the money, you know
She'll be playing your daughter
Dead to us
Dead to us
Dear salesman, old salesman
You're dead to us
You'll never keep up
With these young bucks
You're dead to us
Quite dead to us
Step into the threshing machine
Step into this threshing machine
Step into the threshing machine
