Free Brains! (Lyrics, Shawn of the Dead parody: “Freebird”)

by Marc Gunn, Aug 12, 2009

After years of being asked to play “Freebird”… and playing it, I decided it was time to write my own version. I did just that in the middle of a house concert in Kentucky. It was about zombies so I had to write about my favorite zombie movie, Shawn of the Dead.

If I turned into a zombie
Would you still be friends with me
Because my neck is drenched in blood
And I'm craving your flesh to eat

But if I die here, I'm sorry Shawn
It's been a gas and I'm not ashamed
But I won't stop til you stop laughing
Or until I get to eat your brains!

I think I wanna eat your brains
As long you don't bash in my brains
Please don't bash in my brains

Bye-bye, Shawn, you're a real good friend
Though you are whipped and I'm in chains
I bet Liz won't be happy if
I bite you while playing video games.

But if I die here, I'm sorry Shawn
It's been a gas and I'm not ashamed
And I won't stop til you stop laughing
Or until I get to eat your brains!

Oh maybe I will eat your brains
Doncha know I want your brains
Brains! Brains! Brains!
