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 |
