Tell my why we all live and die
|
Why some people try suicide
|
Why do children have to fight for their lives
|
Tell my why, tell my why...
|
|
Why do priests molest a child
|
Why does war have to be so wild
|
Why do all politicians lie
|
Tell my why tell my why
|
|
Well its mad mad world that we're living in today.
|
Hypnotize people, remember Heaven's Gate,
|
Marshal Applewhite with the mass suicide.
|
Thinking the Hale-Bopp will take them to the afterlife
|
Well that's fucked up just like 9-11,
|
Mohammed Ata didn't even have a gun,
|
Seventy-two virgin wives going through his brain,
|
Killed 5,000 Americans, healed the pain
|
Brainwashed by Osama Bin Laden,
|
Terrorized the world, shit will never be forgotten,
|
Like Jack the ripper back in day,
|
Killing innocent people sending them straight to their graves,
|
How about Jeffery Dahmer and Ted Bundy too,
|
Three serial killers out there, to name a few,
|
What the fuck is our future really going to be,
|
Will we see world peace or will we see catastrophe.
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
I don't know but sometime I feel I don't know,
|
Exactly how this world's goin to go
|
I'm Watching my TV screen
|
and I can't believe what I'm seeing half the time,
|
Politicians lying with their big fake smiles in,
|
Children dying leaving momma's crying,
|
And molestations involving clergymen,
|
What the fuck is happenin?
|
I'm kinda glad that I'm not a father,
|
I'm a kill a mother fucker if they touch my son or my daughter,
|
If I have a seed they supposed to bury me,
|
not me bury them but that's not how it always how it is Uh-uh,
|
I think twice now about having a child
|
and brining 'em into a world that's chaotically wild
|
oh, I ask why it got be this way but no one answers
|
and I ain't got none so the problems remain, So I say...
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Death becomes us, we cam from dust,
|
I can't let the ways of the world come and run us,
|
Like drugs and women, what's the reason for sinning,
|
I was promised eternal life from the beginning,
|
But look at Bush and his brother, look at Clinton and lover,
|
Kids on the street living foul without they mother,
|
He wasn't gay, he went to pray, he got touched by the priest,
|
John Lennon said that's when he was yelling for peace.
|
Halloween, life, full of tricks and treats,
|
I put the world on my shoulders, now they beggin' for peace,
|
It can all be gone in a New York second.
|
Perfect example, September 11th,
|
It's a church cover-up, They hold me in water,
|
Learn to respect a women when I had my daughter.
|
They're your idol, your highest title Like Kurt Cobain,
|
kids mix the black tar with the cocaine.
|
Drinking liquor to ease the pain, Like blood stains,
|
on the shirt, shit I hope I remain, Tell my why...
|
