[Verse 1] |
|
I pledge allegiance to the (tell me what we gon' do) |
|
I used to know you but (you don't call like you used to) |
|
If you still love me can I |
|
(give me a chance just to say how I feel, it may hurt you but what I'm seeing is real) |
|
We're killing babies and (I love to see chil dren play) |
|
I've got depression (there's a new pill I saw today) |
|
How hypocritical to |
|
(nothing is wrong take a picture and just smile money's coming after while) |
|
[Chorus 1] |
|
Why Oh Why |
|
we keep believing lies, did Laci have to die |
|
Why Oh Why, Lord tell me when our change is gon' come |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
There are no fathers and (the system's holding me down) |
|
Sisters are dying of AIDS (I know my man don't sleep around) |
|
Don't be stupid listen (we all gon' die. And since you only live once, you do you, you go head, live your life) |
|
We're building churches but (my pastor is on TV) |
|
But are we building people (I filed for divorce last week) |
|
We're wasting money tell me (why should I save? Let me have my worldly things; God said He'll supply my needs) |
|
(that ain't what he means) |
|
[Chorus 2] |
|
Why Oh Why |
|
can't our soldiers come back home |
|
It seems like innocence is gone |
|
Are people still losing their jobs |
|
We're spending money building bombs |
|
[Bridge] |
|
Free, I just wanna be free |
|
[Verse 3] |
|
Wake up no more sleeping (seems like my life ain't gon' change) |
|
Let's stop making excuses (I pray but things still stay the same) |
|
See Jesus said that He will (please take this pain, I can't make it on my own, ain't no sunshine when |
|
You're gone) |
|
(2 nd Why) |
|
Why oh Why |
|
Don't we give you a chance |
|
Put our life in Your hands |
|
Are we afraid to say Your name |
|
Is it because we want the fame |
|
Did my homeboy have to take his life |
|
That homeless man's outside tonight |
|
When trouble comes we wanna pray |
|
Our country pushes You away |
