Bad Religion Pity the Dead Lyrics

Transcription by Jody Beaulac.
There's a boy in chrimson 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 the lonesome cry
Then they pass away alone into the night
Why do we pity the dead?
Are you churned by emotion from the 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 churned by emotion from the voices in 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
E E E E(high) E E E D
The destitude and famished, demonic and the banished
E E E E(high) E E E D
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
