      Arrangement


      The main riff of the song is the same as that from "Crazy Train" by Ozzy Osbourne, played on a synthesizer rather than a guitar and transposed into a different key. As with all songs from the band's debut, Deuce sings the chorus. Johnny 3 Tears prominently screams "undead" target="_blank">Undead!" at the beginning and at the end with the other members, and raps the first and fourth verses. Charlie Scene raps the second verse, and J-Dog raps the third. The uncut version, in which J-Dog disses Jeffree Star, is rapped at live shows, but was cut from Swan Songs. Da Kurlzz screams with Deuce in the chorus, and provides backup shouts on Charlie Scene and J-Dog's verses.
