LYRICS
You promoted such submission and servility
spreading lies that flew against all that your own eyes could see
you tried to quash my bodily autonomy
Just wouldn't see how unfair it was how you affected me
You made it sicker, an already sick society
thought blind compliance was key - to your longevity
You gave your life to fight that invisible enemy
The real enemy you were fighting was your life and liberty
With such rabid certainty, I saw no flicker of a doubt
you said those like me, shouldn't be, allowed out and about
But I wonder whether you began to sniff the bullshit out
If only moments just before, your lights went out
(But I’ll never know now)
Cos now
Chorus 1
you’re dead
Now you’re dead
Now you’re dead
you’re dead
Now you’re dead
you’re dead
I guess it’s pointless to revisit all those things you did and said
Verse 2
I know you were only one, of oh-so-many
Who proved to be passionate lovers of tyranny
Oh but it so shook me, that mass insanity
You all let the state hijack your compass on morality
You gave no jot at all for human rights or liberty
And turned your back on any wiser friends and family
Would you say now it was you, or maybe was it me
Who was more mindful of how life’s a gift that passes too quickly
I don’t know what’s true - from all the different things that people say
When you die does all your consciousness just disappear away?
No I don’t know whether there’s any life beyond
Or if there is, if you can see yet, you were wrong?...
Chorus 2
you’re dead
Now you’re dead
I really wish you had been more cautious and less easily misled
Cos now you’re dead
Now You’re dead
You’ll never once again wake up in your bed No!
Your faith in what they told you was unshakeable
and the shackles of your mind were unbreakable
Of ever questioning those liars you weren’t capable
Thought their bent science was just never debatable
Your desire for more injections seemed insatiable
And now you’re dead!
Verse 3
I guess I’d held to hope that you’d have some epiphany
suddenly see what before you clearly couldn’t see
Maybe hoped I’d one day I’d hear some apology
Though no clues that one was coming ever showed themselves to me
Coincidences mounted beyond plausibility
You kept your pact of firm denial so doggedly
Must be so painful, to face a truth so ugly
Their promise of more life for you was worse than empty
Chorus 3
Cos now you’re dead
Now you’re dead
What you took to lengthen your life maybe shortened it instead
so now you're dead
You're dead
In a box rotting in the ground is where your body's led
You're dead
you're dead
that was all that was guaranteed once day you'd end up dead
You're dead
you're dead
you're dead
