E E D D G G A A B

E D G A

There's a boy in chrimson rags with a grimace and a spoon

E D A B

And a little sullen girl face-up staring at the moon

E D G C

And there's no one around to hear the lonesome cry

D

Then they pass away alone into the night

E B C D E

Why do we pity the dead?

E B C D A

Are you churned by emotion from the voices in your head

E C G D

Look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why

E G D

Oh why do we pity the dead?

E E D D G G A A

E E D D A A B B

E D G A

Well you've seen the disease, suffering, and decay

E D A B

And you whisper to yourself blissfully "It's okay"

E D G C

And you still refuse the possibility

D

That the dead are better off than we

E B C D E

Why do we pity the dead?

E B C D A

Are you churned by emotion from the voices in your head

E C G D

Look at all the living and you'll ask yourself why

E G D C D E

Oh why do we pity the dead? Pity the dead

C D E C D E

Tell me what you see, tell me what you know

G D

Is there anyone who lives a painless life?

C D E

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

E C G D

The conquered and objectified, the few who see the other side

C D E

Tell me what you see

G D C D E

It's a mortal wretched cacophony
