Verse 1:
ARemember when we first met John McCElane?
Argyle picked him up from the plF#mane,
And took him down to Nakatomi ToC#mwer...
To Dmeet with Holly.
AHe came to get her back and to be her Eman,
But Hans and his buddies f#cked up the F#mplan,
And that's about when everything went C#msour
At the DChristmas party.
Pre-Chorus:
BmAnd the terrorists were C#mover-zealous,
But Dit was sweet when Ethey killed Ellis!
BmAnd, with a little C#mhelp from Allen,
DJohn McClane kicked E@ss!
Chorus:
We're gonna Adie, die, die, die Ehard!
We're gonna Adie, die, die, die Ehard!
We're gonna Adie, die, die, die Ehard!
We're gonna F#mdie, die, die as hard as Dwe can!
Verse2:
No one dies harder than John McClane,
Even when his wife's stuck on a plane
About to crash into the Potomac River...
On the eve of Christmas.
And airport security kicked him out,
But John McClane is just too damn proud,
And nothing could have made him not deliver...
'Cause that's his business!
Pre-Chorus:
And with a lot of fights and gunplay
He blew that plane up on the runway.
And, with a little help from Allen,
Holly's plane could land!
Chorus:
We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!
Bridge:
Yippee-ki-Ayay, motherEf#cker!
Yippee-ki-Ayay, motherDf#cker!
Yippee-ki-Ayay, motherEf#cker!
Yippee-ki-Ayay, motherDf#cker!
Verse 3:
No one dies harder than John McClane,
Saving all the passengers on the train.
But Simon wasn't clear with his intentions:
It was just a distraction!
And there was no way McClane could know
That Hans Gruber was Simon's bro.
And that's what made it "Die Hard: With A Vengeance"
With Samuel Jackson!
Pre-Chorus:
And the good cop wouldn't miss this,
Even though it wasn't Christmas.
He didn't get any help from Allen...
But only in part three!
Chorus:
We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!
Verse 4:
Finally we're back with John McClane
Now we got a choice, and the choice is plain:
We can live free or we can die hard,
As hard as we can.
From taking on a terrorist he's never met,
To taking on an F-35 jet,
With the greatest car explosions by far;
This sure looks sweet, man!
Pre-Chorus
And we know what the basic gist is:
There ain't no Allen, and it's not Christmas.
We don't know but we're pretty sure that
John McClane kicks @ss!
Chorus:
We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
We're gonna die, die, die, die hard!
We're gonna die, die, die as hard as we can!
Bridge:
Yippee-ki-yay, motherf#cker!
Yippee-ki-yay, motherf#cker!
Yippee-ki-yay, motherf#cker!
Yippee-ki-yay, motherf#cker!
