Tell Me Why

(Selwyn Birchwood, Selwyn Birchwood Music

(Tell me why)
The world′s starved for peace like the desert is starved for water.
(Tell me why)
Man cut his brother down like a pig to slaughter
(Tell me why)
People are frightened by the sound of aeroplanes
(Tell me why)
The sky's dropping bombs to the ground instead of rain
Tell me why. Why, why, why


(Tell me why)
It′s been an eye for eye for two thousand years and countin'
(Tell me why)
Now we're too blind to see all the killing has changed nothin′
(Tell me why)
We fill our hearts with hatred for our fellow man
(Tell me why)
We paint the land, with blood, time and time and time again
Tell me why, why, why, why
Tell me why, why, why, why
Tell me why, why, why, why

(Tell me why)
People see violence as a means to an end
(Tell me why)
They find victory amongst the grieving and the dead
(Tell me why)
Lord, they live their life just in pursuit of death
(Tell me why)
I ain′t found no answer, but I haven't given up just yet.
Tell me why, why, why, why
Tell me why, why, why, why
