I've Got to Know |
I’ve got to know, yes, I’ve got to know, friend; |
Hungry lips ask me wherever I go! |
Comrades and friends all falling around me |
I’ve got to know, yes, I’ve got to know. |
Why do your war boats ride on my waters? |
Why do your death bombs fall from my skies? |
Why do you burn my farm and my town down? |
I’ve got to know, friend, I’ve got to know! |
What makes your boats haul death to my people? |
Nitro blockbusters, big cannons and guns? |
Why doesn’t your ship bring food and some clothing? |
I’ve sure got to know, folks, I’ve sure got to know! |
Why can’t my two hands get a good pay job? |
I can still plow, plant, I can still sow! |
Why did your lawbook chase me off my good land? |
I’d sure like to know, friend, I’ve just got to know! |
What good work did you do, sir, I’d like to ask you, |
To give you my money right out of my hands? |
I built your big house here to hide from my people, |
Why you crave to hide so, I’d love to know! |
You keep me in jail and you lock me in prison, |
Your hospital’s jammed and your crazyhouse full, |
What made your cop kill my trade union worker? |
You’ll hafta talk plain 'cause I sure have to know! |
Why can’t I get work and cash my big paycheck? |
Why can’t I buy things in your place and your store? |
Why do you close my plant down and starve all my buddies? |
I’m asking you, sir, 'cause I’ve sure got to know! |
