about

Out in the woods, Nick is having a hard time fitting in with the other zombie teens. For some reason, he still cares about things. The Fodder Twins mock his lack of apathy by crowning him King of the Zombies.

lyrics

He was a sensitive boy, he cried often
His mother’s own pride and joy
And did it soften him too much
(too much too much too much too much)
Who’s to say?
He was so fragile and shy, he cried always
He was such a sensitive guy
He used to run out of harm’s way but now he’s passed away
He can’t remember why.
Now he’s the king of the dead set
The lord of the cold and the grim
Go on and praise his name to the heavens
It’ll never matter to him
Who’s so big a man he’s got you in the shade (He is: Zombie King)
Who don’t know a thing about the being afraid? (He don’t: Zombie King)
Who will never write to his mother and his father? (He won’t: Zombie King)
Who could give a damn, but he doesn’t ever bother? (He don’t: Zombie King)
He used to cry at the sight of a sunset
He used to wince at a needle’s prick
He used to care so much
(So much So much So much So much)
It makes me sick
He used to write verses of poetry
On the nature of death, gloom and pain
But when you got the real thing who cares
(who cares, who cares, who cares)
It’s all the same
Go on and tell him his dog died
Tell him his girl said goodbye
Tell him his mother was eaten by spiders
He’ll never blink an eye
Who’s such a man he’s got balls of steel? (He does: Zombie King)
Who never fronts, always keeps it real? (He does: Zombie King)
Who’s got a lump of coal instead of a heart? (He does: Zombie King)
Whose pulse rate just dropped off the chart? (His did! Zombie King)
Hey king nicky our hats are off
you used to be just another pasty-faced goth
now you’re the toast of the underworld
all the zombie hotties wanna be your girl
check out his new digs, see ‘em to believe ‘em
he got a king sized mausoleum
got a tombstone headboard, coffin for a bed
everyone who sees him says Ayou’re better off dead
so shake it, shake it, shake it, shake it, you’re the zombie king (x4)
