Why Me? |
| These are dangerous times |
| That were living in |
| And there are dangerous signs |
| That were giving in to fear |
| Late one night, I’m lying here |
| I thought I heard a sound |
| Tell the mothers and the babes |
| Tell the old, tell the sick they will be safe |
| Get the young males. |
| Tell them to be brave |
| I was so concerned with saving live |
| I never saw you pull the knife |
| High on the mountains |
| Across seven seas |
| All of the people |
| Why me, why me? |
| Do you feel so frustrated |
| Frightened and feared |
| Answer my question |
| Why me, why me, why me |
| Why me, why me, why me? |
| You’re such an angry young man |
| With all your grievances |
| People don’t understand |
| They just can’t understand |
| What you must do to stay alive |
| So you try to justify |
| All the violence and hate, before your eyes |
| Through the ages better men than you have tried |
| To give what is not theirs to give |
| To take the land where others live |
| High on the mountains |
| Across seven seas |
| All of the people why me, why me? |
| Do you feel so frustrated |
| Frightened and feared |
| Answer my question |
| Why here, why now |
| Why here, why now, hey here |
| Why now, why me? |
| Oh, for now you have the power |
| The guns and all the swords |
| But nature has a nasty habit |
| Of balancing her flaws |
| Now you may try to break my body |
| Lock me up and throw away the key |
| But you’ll never break my spirit |
| I’m free! |
