No More Pity

You can scream, you can shout, but you can't get out, no!
Sit down, and think it all over
You’ll be doing what you're doing for the rest of your life, man
Look at me and tell me, what have you done?

I used to know you so well
You always worked so hard to get a decent grade
But when I saw you flunk out
I just knew what you were gonna do to yourself
Excuses, excuses!
Forget your excuses!
You sold your ass, and you sold your soul
And you didn't even know what you did when you sold it all

You can scream, you can shout, but you can’t get out, no!
Sit down, and think it all over
You can scream, you can shout, but you can't get out, no!
Sit down, and think it all over
You'll be doing what you're doing for the rest of your life, man
Look at me and tell me, what have you done?

Now I see you from time to time
In a world divided by barricades

You're on the wrong side
You think you're on the safe side, but sorry, man, it's no game
And sooner or later
When the tables start to burn
You'll find it’s all a question of values
And knowing your right from right, and your right from wrong

You can scream, you can shout, but you can’t get out, no!
Sit down, and think it all over
You can scream, you can shout, but you can't get out, no!
Sit down, and think it all over
You’ll be doing what you're doing for the rest of your life, man
Look at me and tell me, what have you done?

On what side you will stand when the people find out
That the boys in blue have turned into the boys in brown?

Take a close look down at your own shirt
And tell me what color you see
Is it blue, or is it brown?
"Oh no, it just can't be!"
'Cause you don’t even know who you're working for
And you don't even know what you're doing
And you can't even see that you've missed anything at all

There's gonna be
No more pity!
Hate is all I've got for you
No more pity!
Despise is all I'll ever feel for you
What you wanted to be respected for
You'll end up being hated for
There's gonna be
No more pity!
Despise is all I'll ever feel for you
