Ask Yourself Why

Lyrics

When you're just out walking and you pass
 Little signs that say "keep off the grass"
 Did you ever stop and ask yourself why?
 Pretty playgrounds children used to know
 Little squares where lovers love to go
 Disappear so parking lots can grow
 Why?
 Once you start the questions never cease
 What's disturbed when you disturb the peace
 Pets and children are prohibited
 Why? ask yourself why?
 And when you think about it
 Bullets fly like popcorn on the screen
 Recommended wholesome nice and clean
 Making love's the thing that can't be seen
 Why?
 Let your hair down just an inch or two
 Let your skin be red or green or blue
 They invent a special name for you
 Why?
 On a clear day oh say can you see
 What remains of mountain's scenery
 Catch a glimpse of all the scenery... sky...
 Beautiful sky .as shiny as a penny
 So when you're out walking and you pass
 Near a sign that say "keep off the grass"
 Put a sign right next to it that says "why? "
