You say there ain't no use in livin'
It's all a waste of time
'n you wanna throw your life away, well
People that's just fine
Go ahead on 'n get it over with then
Find you a bridge 'n take a jump
Just make sure you do it right the first time
'cause nothin's worse than a suicide
Chump

You say there ain't no light a-shinin'
Through the bushes up ahead
'n we're all gonna be so sorry
When we find out you are dead
Go head on and get it over with then
Find you a bridge 'n take a jump
Just make sure you do it right the first
Time
'cause nothin's worse than a suicide
Chump

Now maybe you're scared of jumpin'
'n poison makes you sick
'n you want a little attention
'n you need it pretty quick
Don't wanna mess your face up
Or we won't know if it's you
Aw there's just so much to worry about
Now what you gonna do?

Go head on 'n get it over with then
Go head on 'n get it over with then
Go head on 'n get it over with then
Go head on 'n get it over with then

You're on the bridge;
Scared to leap,
But a girl walks over
To take a peep...
She says: "don't do it!"
But wouldn't you know...
The girl got a head
Like a buffalo
With a little red hair
All over the top
An' her breath would make the
Traffic stop
She says "I love you...
But first, let's eat!"
And all you can say as you run down the




Street
Is...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Suicide Chump" by Frank Zappa can be interpreted as a satirical commentary on the absurdity and impulsiveness of contemplating suicide. The singer in the song addresses someone who expresses their desire to end their life, presenting a tongue-in-cheek response suggesting that if they are going to go through with it, they should do it right the first time. The sarcastic tone highlights the irrationality of such a decision and dismisses it as a "waste of time." The lyrics also touch on the idea that attention-seeking or wanting to make others feel sorry for them could be driving the suicidal thoughts. The final verse introduces a humorous twist, with a girl with unusual characteristics attempting to intervene and distract the person from their intentions, emphasizing the unpredictability and absurdity of life and its potential distractions.

Some of your videos are sad but it really shows people to stay out of trouble because they know some of the consequences

@carenabutler4888

Someone at my school probably got life in prison, we have classes out in trailers and he caught it on fire while people were in it. The trailer is still getting repaired I'm ashamed to say I dated the idiot. Hes getting what he deserves.
