           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           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
