"Pity The Dead"- BAD RELIGION
there's a boy in crimson rags with a grimace and a spoon,
and a little sullen girl face-up staring at the moon
and there's no one around to hear their lonesome cries
then they pass away alone into the night
why do we pity the dead?
are you churned by emotion from voices in your head?
look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why
oh why do we
pity the dead?
well, you've seen the disease, suffering and decay,
and you whisper to yourself blissfully "it's okay"
and you still refuse the possibility
that the dead are better off than we
why do we pity the dead?
are you scared of the logic that swirls within your head
look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why
oh why do we
pity the dead?
pity the dead!
tell me what you see, tell me what you know
is there anyone who lives a painless life?
if there is show me so
the destitute and famished, demonic and the banished,
dejected and the ostracized, the brainwashed and the paralyzed,
the conquered and objectified, the few who see the other side
tell me what you see! It's a mortal wretched cacophony
in the end you may find there's no guiding subtle light,
no ancestors or friends, no judge of wrong or right
just eternal silence and dormancy
and a final everlasting peace
why do we pity the dead?
are you churned by emotion from voices in your head?
look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why
oh why do we
pity the dead?
why do we pity the dead?
why do we pity the dead?
why do we pity the dead!
