I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead
"Weird Al" Yankovic Lyrics

I don't care about your karma
I am indifferent to your spiritual beliefs and actions, and they do not affect my behavior or attitudes towards you.

I don't care about what's hip
Trends and fads do not interest me, and I will not follow them just to fit in or appear cool.

No space cadet's gonna tell me what to do
I will not obey or take orders from someone who is not in touch with reality or has unrealistic expectations.

I won't swim in your jacuzzi
I will not participate in your luxurious or hedonistic activities, as they do not align with my personal values.

You can't make me settle down
I have a free spirit and I will not conform to societal expectations of a settled or stable lifestyle.

I'd rather kick and jump and bite and scratch And scream until I'm blue
I prefer to express myself physically and emotionally, even if it appears chaotic or aggressive.

I may as well be hyper as long as I'm still around 'Cause I'll have lots of time to be laid back When I'm six feet underground
I would rather live life to the fullest, even if it means being intense or hyperactive, because eventually I will die and have plenty of time to be calm or laid-back in the afterlife.

When are you cosmic cowboys Gonna get it through your heads?
Why are you new age spiritualists, who believe in cosmic energy and natural living, not understanding my perspective?

I can't stand the smell of incense
The odor of burning incense is unpleasant to me and I would rather not be around it.

I don't really like to jog
I am not particularly fond of running for exercise or recreation.

No Joni Mitchell 8-tracks in my car, ooh
I don't listen to Joni Mitchell music on 8-track tapes in my car, as it does not suit my musical tastes.

I hate anything organic
I have a strong dislike for organic food or products, and I will not use or consume them.

Even health food makes me sick
I have a negative physical reaction to health food, despite its supposed benefits.

You won't catch me sipping Perrier Down in some sushi bar, I tell you
I will not be caught drinking Perrier mineral water in a sushi bar, as it goes against my personal preferences and values.

Now's the time to go for all the gusto you can grab You'll have plenty of time to be low-key When you're laid out on the slab
This is the time to live boldly and ambitiously, because eventually we will die and there will be plenty of time to rest and be calm in death.

I don't want no part of that vegetarian scene
I have no interest in participating in the vegetarian lifestyle or culture.

I won't buy me a pair of designer jeans
I have no desire to purchase high-end, fashionable jeans.

No redwood hot tub to my name
I do not own a luxurious hot tub made of redwood, and I have no plans to acquire one.

I got all that I want and if it's all the same to you
I am content with what I have, and I do not need any more than that. This is also a polite way of declining an offer.

I don't need a course in self-awareness To find out who I am
I am confident in my self-knowledge and I do not require a course or program to help me discover my identity or personality.

And I'd rather have a, a Big Mac or a Jumbo Jack Than all the bean sprouts in Japan
I prefer to eat fast food burgers like Big Macs or Jumbo Jacks, rather than health food like bean sprouts from Japan.

So don't ask me what I'm into I don't need to prove I'm cool
Do not inquire about my personal interests or hobbies, because I do not feel the need to prove myself as cool or trendy.

I'll break your arm if you ask me what's my sign
If you persist in asking about my astrological sign, I will respond with physical violence as a way of expressing my annoyance and aggression.

I won't tell you where my head's at
I will not share my current thoughts or feelings with you, as it is none of your business and I value my privacy.

I don't need to see no shrink
I do not need to see a therapist or mental health professional, as I believe I am mentally healthy and capable of addressing my own issues and concerns.

Psychosis may be in this year But I'm really not that kind
Although the trend of embracing mental illness or psychological disorders may be popular or fashionable, I do not identify as someone who has such issues.

And I'm in no hurry to be casual In fact, I think, I'll wait
I have no desire to act casual or laid-back, and I will wait for the right time or situation to do so.

Until I'm pushing up the daisies Like wow, man, can you relate?
I will continue to live my life with energy and boldness until the moment of my death, and I challenge others to understand and appreciate my perspective.
