[Verse 1]
Why ask?
Why not it goes with this night
So, will it ever stop?
Will it always be this hard?
There will always be a jar of ash
There will always be an unfit mind
There will always be a lonely son
There will always be a humiliated little girl
[Chorus]
Why ask?
Is there any reason?
Why ask?
If it'll just let up?
Why ask?
Is there any reason?
Why ask?
If it'll just let up?
Up, up, up, up
[Verse 2]
There will always be a headless neck
There will always be happiness
There will always be a handless wrist to crush
There will always be a hopeful heart to disrespect
[Chorus]
Why ask?
Is there any reason?
Why ask?
If it'll just let up?
Why ask?
Is there any reason?
Why ask?
If it'll just let up?
Up, up, up, up
Bog People was written by Jamie Stewart.
Bog People was produced by Xiu Xiu.
Xiu Xiu released Bog People on Tue Jul 12 2005.
From an interview with Pitchfork, Jamie said
Bog People" was written in a melodramatic but truthful fit of sadness sitting on a couch alone late at night during a storm, feeling overwhelmed by a specific loss and how everyone I care for seemed to be perpetually under the boot of sadness.
