Pity The Dead Lyrics - The Gray Race - 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 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? 

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 

Let's go 

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, why do we pity the dead?
