Dead Man, Dead Man

Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind

Clinging to strange promises, dying on the vine

Never bein' able to separate the good from the bad

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it

It's makin' me feel so sad

Dead man, dead man

When will you arise?

Cobwebs in your mind

Dust upon your eyes

Satan got you by the heel, there's a bird's nest in your hair

Do you have any faith at all, do you have any love to share

The way that you hold your head, cursin' God with every move

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it

What are you tryin' to prove?

Dead man, dead man

When will you arise?

Cobwebs in your mind

Dust upon your eyes

The glamour and the bright lights and the politics of sin

The ghetto that you build for me is the one you're livin' in

The race of the engine that overrules your heart

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it

Pretending that you're so smart

Dead man, dead man

When will you arise?

Cobwebs in your mind

Dust upon your eyes

What are you tryin' to overpower me with, the doctrine or the gun

My back's to the wall, where can I run

The tuxedo that you're wearin', the flower in your lapel

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it

Takin' me down to hell

Dead man, dead man

When will you arise?

Cobwebs in your mind

Dust upon your eyes

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it
