Tell Me Why

Rating: 5.0


TELL ME WHY
Somebody please, somebody please tell me why,
Some live a hurtful life to just die,
Look at the poor people cry,
While the rich and famous jus fly,
Up high, to the sky,
Tell me why….
Politicians have to lie,
Drain the treasury dry,
Others struggling everyday jus to get by,
I try, not to pry
So I jus get high…

Somebody please somebody please explain,
Why people does play with other people brain,
Make u go totally insane,
Too much of pain.
No shelter from the rain,
Everything is lost, you now try to gain,
Back the trust, yourself you have to train.
Instead of being vain,
I cruise on the high lane…



Tell me why life is so unfair,
Somebody somewhere,
Don't care,
When a mother sheds a tear
Police always in high gear
Pain the poor have to bear
Why do we all have to live in fear?
Every single day of the year
Fake smiles we have to wear
Cause a true friend is so rare


Tell me when would it have an evolution,
In this sad nation,
Can't help but feel the depression,
When you are in the situation.
Life doesn't always go with your expectation,
Disappointment is part of life's education.
That is what tests our limitation
We turn for comfort from remuneration
To find some compensation an justification
For our condition and position.
In this Armageddon.
