Sittin’ around talkin’ to some friends of mine Conversation came up, question why We [?] things that were on our minds And what we all agreed upon: we’re livin’ in the worst of times
What can we do about it? We got to stand up, tell them we won’t be ignored no more
Why Tell me (why) Tell me (why) I wanna know Tell me (why) Talk to me (why) Tell me (why) Why Do we hang our head in shame? Who’s to blame? Yeah
I’m not the kind to run away and hide I speak the truth, it comes from deep inside If we don’t protect [?] [?] our hands without a chance then we’ll never survive
Do something about it We got to stand up and tell them we won’t be ignored no more
Why Tell me (why) Tell me (why) I wanna know Talk to me (why) Tell me (why) I wanna know (why) Why Why, why, why, why
The road ahead could be so much brighter For us, but we’ve gotta join hands together The world could be united as one But we gotta learn how to love and try
(Why) (Why) I wanna know (why) Tell me, tell me, why Why, why, why, why (why) I need to know (why) Tell me so (why) Everybody, everybody, everybody
