Give Life A Try

Give Life A Try
Interprète	Eric Cartman
Figure dans	"Raccrochez"

"Give Life A Try" a été présenté dans l'épisode de la saison 21, "Raccrochez".

Contexte

Cartman découvre que les gens se soucient plus de la distraction au volant que de la prévention du suicide. Pour faire mieux que le groupe Distracted Driving Awareness, il chante cette chanson.

Dans "Tomates écrabouillées", il essaie (et échoue) d'amener les gens à chanter ça pour que Heidi ne rompe pas avec lui.

Paroles

I've been feelin' sad, I've been bein' sad,
Can't talk to my mom, don't even have a dad.
I can't go on. What is livin' for?
My heart screams "I DON'T WANNA LIVE NO MORE!"
[joined by a chorus of kids that are prerecorded on a boombox]
Eric, we don't want you to die, Eric. Give life a try.
Eric, we don't want you to die, Eric. Oh God no, Eric.
I don't wanna live no more, no more, no more, no more.
[walks up to a boy and uses him as a ventriloquist puppet]
But Eric, we don't want you to die.
You're so kewl, we'd be sad at school.
[walks away and goes back to his normal voice]
Yeah, but you guys, you don't understand.
With my girlfriend, it's like I'm livin' in quicksand
Conflicting thoughts, I need a battered wife shelter.
My girlfriend is messed up, but all I wanna do is help her.
I'm suffocatin', I'm drowning in sorrow.
Gonna kill myself, probably around 2:30 tomorrow.
[with chorus]
But Eric, we don't want you to die, Eric. Give life a try.
[solo] Everybody!
[chorus a Capella] Eric, we don't want you to die, Eric. Oh God no, Eric.
But it's so hard!
Eric, we don't want you to die
