Tracy Chapman - Why

Songtekst / Lyric
Why do the babies starve
When there`s enough food to feed the world
Why when there`re so many of us
Are there people still alone

Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they`re aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she`s in her home

Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we`re all free

But somebody`s gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon

Admidst all these questions and contradictions
There`re some who seek the truth

Now tell me...

Why do the babies starve
When there`s enough food to feed the world
Why when there`re so many of us
Are there people still alone

Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they`re aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she`s in her home

But somebody`s gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth
