Another song by The Who - My Generation seems apt. Particularly the line 'Why don't you all just fade away?'.

Relates to not while a JW but after.
Billy Joel - Got to begin again
Well so, here I am at the end of the road
Where do I go from here?
I always figured it would be like this
Still nothin' seems to be quite clear
All the words have been spoken
And the prophecy fulfilled
But I just can't decide where to go
Yes, it's been quite a day
And I should go to sleep
But tomorrow I will wake up and I'll know
That I've got to begin again
Though I don't know how to start
Yes, I've got to begin again, and it's hard
Well, it's been quite a while since I lifted my head
And I'm sure the light will hurt my eyes
I see the way that I've been spendin' my days
And reality has caught me by surprise
I was dreamin' of tomorrow
So I sacrificed today
And it sure was a grand waste of time
And despite all the truth that's been thrown in my face
I just can't get you out of my mind
But I've got to begin again
Though I don't know how to start
Yes, I've got to begin again, and it's hard -

Not sure if this was mentioned already, but a song that always spoke to me and even planted some of my first seeds of doubt was Bad Religion's "Live Again"...
One of the lines was ... "What good is something if you can't have it until you die? Live Again, Live Again... would you give it all up to live again?"
Rumor had it that Greg Graffin (the lead singer) is an ex-jw aside from being a UCLA professor of life science. He was awesome!

SonoftheTrinity
one foundation by the wailers pretty much sums up my marriage to a JW
got to set aside them organization
got to set aside them denomination
or there will never be a single drop of love
you won't have no freedom
there will never be no love at all....
religion is a trap and a snare!

Mad World
All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhereTheir tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrowAnd I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad worldChildren waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday, happy birthday
And to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listenWent to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me, what's my lesson?
Look right through me, look right through meAnd I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you,
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it's a very, very
Mad world, mad world, mad world, mad world -
