[Intro]                                                               N.. [Verse 1] I don’t care about your karma I don’t care about what’s hip No space cadet’s gonna tell me what to do. I won’t swim in your jacuzzi you can’t make me settle down I’d rather kick and jump and bite and scratch and scream until I’m blue. I may as well be hyper as long as I’m still around ’Cause I’ll have lots of time to be laid back when I’m six feet underground. [Chorus] I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead. I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead. When are you   cosmic cowboys gonna get it through your heads? I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead. [Interlude]             [Verse 2] I can’t stand the smell of incense I don’t really like to jog No Joni Mitchell 8-tracks in my car ooh... I hate anything organic even health food makes me sick. You won’t catch me sipping Perrier down in some sushi bar I tell you! Now’s the time to go for all the gusto you can grab You’ll have plenty of time to be low-key when you’re laid out on the slab. [Chorus] I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead. I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead. When are you   cosmic cowboys gonna get it through your heads? I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead. I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead. [Solo]                                     N.. [Bridge] I don’t want no part of that vegetarian scene I won’t buy me a pair of designer jeans No redwood hot tub to my name I got all that I want and if it’s all the same to you. I don’t need a course in self-awareness to find out who I am. N..                                                                          And I’ rather have Big Mac or Jumbo Jack than all the bean sprouts in Japan. [Interlude]                                                               N.. [Verse 3] So don’t ask me what I’m into I don’t need to prove I’m cool I’ll break your arm if you ask me what’s my sign. I won’t tell you where my head’s at I don’t need to see no shrink Psychosis may be in this year but I’m really not that kind. And I’m in no hurry to be casual in fact I think I’ll wait.           D                      N.C. Until I’m pushing up the daisies like wow man can you relate? [Outro Chorus] I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead. I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead. I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead. I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead I’ll be mellow when I’m dead.

Dans cette chanson, l’artiste exprime un rejet des attentes sociétales et des modes de vie conformistes. Il revendique une attitude désinvolte et dynamique, préférant vivre pleinement le moment présent plutôt que de se soucier de ce qui est considéré comme "cool" ou "acceptable". L’idée principale est qu'il préfère vivre intensément maintenant, plutôt que de se préoccuper de la tranquillité qui viendra après la mort. Le contexte de la chanson évoque un certain désenchantement face aux tendances et aux normes de la culture moderne, tout en forçant le trait de manière humoristique. En se moquant des clichés de la zen attitude et des modes de vie sains, il choisit de mettre en avant une philosophie de vie plus spontanée et audacieuse.
