A thrilling musical from Ryan Scott Oliver and Hunter Foster Jasper in Deadland The Musical - The Killing Lyrics
[Spoken] [JASPER] What is life, right? That's what you wanna know? Let me through so I can find my friend, and I'll tell you everything.
[Sung] Who am I to know the truth, I'm a loser. What is life, and why exist? It would suck to get devoured so I'll try now, I will pitch the painful gist.
[Spoken] What is life? Life is awful people.
[Sung] Take my mother for a spin, great example Sixteen years she cooks and cleans 'til she wakes one day to think, "where did the time go? Is this all that living needs?"
Oh! She wants more and more That's all the humans seek She's a human after a killing (Hey!) Willing she'll snatch up a movie star Screw the world, she needs higher billing. (Hey!) Spilling herself for the cash and car She'll die pointing up at her shelves See the people, all the crazy people, living, k-k-killing themselves.
And my father's just as sick. (Pass the percocet!) Finding new ways to get dumb. (Finding new ways to get more!) There are some who search for more, but my father dear He wants only to be numb (No!)
Tell his world goodbye, goodbye. Still, what's it to me? He's a human after a killing (Hey!) Filling his days with hope to score. (Oh yeah!) Choking back 'til life gets more thrilling (hey!) Chilling his drinks, knowing not who for He'll die, staring, off at lost scores See the people, all the crazy people, living, killing their souls.
They're either A or B Except Agnes, cause see Agnes showed me more than a killing Drilling her words, my life's not a waste Agnes says it can be fulfilling She's shielding the truth that I haven't faced: That I'll die, wasting, all of my time
See the corpses after a killing (Hey!) Drilling the coil we live mortally (Oh yeah!) This is life, mindlessly milling Fulfilling my fear that the worst is me I won't die, or be that guy, who like them wasted this climb. (We wasted this climb!)
Save the people, I will save the people! (Save the people! Jasper save the people!) Yeah! Living! Well, trying. (Dying!) I'll get her back, and through, for not just killing my soul! (Save the people, Jasper save the people! Save the people, Jasper save the people! Save the people, Jasper!)
