WHY
WE'VE GOT KNIFE'S AND GUNS ON THE STREET
CHILDREN DIEING AT THE FEET
OF OUR SOCIETY GONE SO WRONG
WE'RE FIGHTING ALL SORTS OF WARS
ALL FOR A JUST CAUSE
MONEY AND POWER WOULD BE MY BET
SPY'S IN THE SKIES
CAMERA'S ON THE STREET
SCANNERS ON OUR PHONES
THERE'S PARANOIA RUNNING FREE
WITH A WORLD IN MISERY
THE PROPHETS OF DOOM ARE WAITING
THEIRS ALL SORTS OF RELIGIOUS WARS
ALL SORTS OF CORPORATE WHORES
WHO PLEDGE ALLIGANCE TO THE MIGHTY DOLLAR
IT'S NOT ABOUT ME AND YOU
IT'S OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS THE WORLD THROUGH
ONE WORLD ONE TRIBE ONE FAMILY
ARE WE ALL TO BLIND TO SEE
LEARN'T NOTHING FROM HISTORY
SOON NOTHING WILL BE WORTH SAVING
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE POWER
IT'S ALL ABOUT THE GREED
IT'S ALL ABOUT WANTING MORE THAN YOU NEED
YOU FORGET ABOUT YOUR HOMELAND
WITH YOUR QUESTS FOR MORE
LOOKING FOR SALVATION
IN THE GLORY OF WAR ?
WHY CAN'T WE LIVE TOGETHER ?
WHY CAN'T WE LIVE AS ONE ?
WHY CAN'T WE SHARE OUR KNOWLEDGE ?
WHY CAN'T WE SHARE OUR HANDS ?
WHY CAN'T WE TEACH LOVE ?
WHY CAN'T WE TEACH TRUST ?
WHY CANT WE LEAVE THE MACHINES OF WAR
TO TURN INTO RUST ?
