On Star Trek (The Original Series), security officers wore red shirts, and were always being killed off to advance the plot.

No way

Die, die die
Die, die (die die die die)
Die, die (die die die die)
Oh no no

I'm beamin' down tonight
There's probably gonna be a fight
I may be shot on sight
I'm tellin' you why
The color of my shirt
Means I'll be getting hurt
I wish I could avert
The final goodbye

I know the fate I have in store
It ain't no lie
I know that I am so done for
Gonna die die die

Die die (die die die die)
I don't wanna be disposable
Just another extra blasted full of holes
It's the fate of every red shirt guy
Gonna die die die

Die die (die die die die)
When aliens are on the hunt
Captain's gonna tell me to stand out in front
It might sound crazy
But it ain't no lie
Gonna die die die

Oh no no
I've got technology
I thought would be protecting me
No matter what the season
I'd be all right
They threw a spear at me
It dropped me down upon my knees
I went to meet my maker
Man this bites

I know the fate I have in store
It ain't no lie
I know that I am so done for
Gonna die die die

Die die (die die die die)
I don't wanna be disposable
Just another extra blasted full of holes
It's the fate of every red shirt guy
Gonna die die die

Die die (die die die die)
When aliens are on the hunt
Captain's gonna tell me to stand out in front
Might sound crazy
But it ain't no lie
Gonna die die die

I'm tellin' you I know the score
Sayin' if you wear a red shirt then you'll be no more
Die die (die die die die)
I'm checkin' out, I'm signin' off
I'm no longer on the roster 'cause I just got snuffed

I don't wanna fill a crypt
But it's in the script
'Cause I'm just a red shirt guy

(Die, die, die)
I think I can see a trend
Gonna meet my end
And it ain't no lie
Die die

Don't wanna be disposable
Just another extra blasted full of holes
(I don't wanna say goodbye)
But it ain't no lie
Gonna die die die

Die die (die die die die)
When aliens are on the hunt
Captain's gonna tell me to stand out in front
Might sound crazy
But it ain't no lie
Die die die (die die die die)
