Why? |
Why did you try to hurt me? |
I got to know, know, know |
Did you really want to kill me? |
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
Why do we have to fight? |
Why must we fight? |
I have to defend myself |
From attack last night |
I know I am black |
You know you are white |
I’m proud of my black skin |
And you are proud of your white, so |
Why did you try to hurt me? |
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
Did you really want to kill me? |
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
We don’t need no British Movement |
Nor the Ku Klux Klan |
Nor the National Front |
It makes me an angry man |
I just want to live in peace |
Why can’t you be the same? |
Why should I live in fear? |
This fussing and fighting’s insane |
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot |
A Nazi salute and a steel capped boot |
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes |
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes |
We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door |
We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door |
Cos' we can’t take no more of this at all |
Cos' we can’t take no more of this at all |
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot |
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes |
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
You’re too scared to make a speech during the light |
Without a thousand police protecting your rights |
To threaten and abuse, incite or fight |
But who will protect me from you in the night? |
Why did you try to hurt me? |
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
Did you really want to kill me |
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot |
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
You follow like sheep inna wolf clothes |
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why |
