Why
|
|
Since you were born you watched TV
|
cartoons with violence and greed
|
in your world all that was OK
|
your parents never taught you right
|
from wrong, brother taught you to fight
|
Now it's time to show them what you've got
|
Gotta show them what you've got
|
|
An attitude, a fancy car
|
your buddies got your back
|
your parents' house compared to yours
|
looks something like a shack
|
in your thirty seven guns
|
the bullets spanked red
|
a simple stare is all it takes
|
to fill 'em up with lead but
|
|
Why,
|
are you acting like you're someone else?
|
Why,
|
can't you stop thinking about yourself
|
|
Last friday night you went driving
|
a stolen car with golden rings
|
it was something you just had to do
|
your little friends the cops caught you
|
you're sentenced for a long time
|
now tell me what you're gonna do
|
|
in a world where no one cares
|
labels i don't wanna wear
|
i had a dream that i could once walk
|
safely in the streets
|
you've got to take it away yeah
|
you've got to take it away from me
|
|
Why,
|
are you acting like you're someone else?
|
Why,
|
can't you stop thinking about yourself
