Dead Man, Dead Man

[Verse 1]

Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind

Clinging to strange promises, dying on the vine

Never being able to separate the good from the bad

Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it

It’s making me feel so sad

[Chorus]

Dead man, dead man

When will you arise?

Cobwebs in your mind

Dust upon your eyes

[Verse 2]

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, cursing God with every move

Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it

What are you trying to prove?

[Chorus]

Dead man, dead man

When will you arise?

Cobwebs in your mind

Dust upon your eyes

[Verse 3]

The glamour and the bright lights and the politics of sin

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

[Chorus]

Dead man, dead man

When will you arise?

Cobwebs in your mind

Dust upon your eyes

[Verse 4]

What are you trying to overpower me with, the doctrine or the gun?

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

The tuxedo that you’re wearing, the flower in your lapel

Ooh, I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it

You're taking me down to hell

[Chorus]

Dead man, dead man

When will you arise?

Cobwebs in your mind

Dust upon your eyes
