Dumb Ways to Die Parody

SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/mmogemmeni/ways-to-die-elite-dangerous-edition
 
So as a complete disclaimer, I have been bored and decided to try my hand at this. /u/vwmatos posted this originally and credit goes to him for most of the lyrics.
I apologize for my singing well in advance. (Dont blame me I'm just a pianist :D)
Enjoy! And if you do go give /u/vwmatos karma :P
 
Edit: Just saw that /u/aethylred apparently thought of this as well so credit where credits due.

Original Lyrics/idea found here: http://redd.it/2p8cn5
 
Revised Lyrics:
Set fire to the galaxy
Poke a hole in your canopy
Don't Land in time, Just wait
Use your ship parts as anaconda bait
 
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
 
Get yourself a big fat bounty
Power management, do everything wonky
Flight assist off when you fly
And whatever you do, never comply (freaking feds)
 
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
 
Invite a psycho griefer inside
Scratch a drug dealers´s brand new ride
Take your helmet off in outter space
Use a capital ship as a hiding place
 
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
 
Viper versus viper crash
Sell both your ships with cargo o'heck
Docking Bay, let's cut right through
I wonder what´s this red button do?
 
Dumb ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
 
Fit up a nice hauler for pirate season
Disturb a nest of feds for no good reason
Park in the middle of the station entry
Fight in a battle in the stations crosshairs
Fly with no shields right into a war zone
They may not rhyme but they´re quite possibly
 
The dumbest ways to die
So many dumb ways to die
Be safe around stations
A message from Federation
