Why?

Lyrics

Why do the babies starve
 There's enough food to feed the world
 Why when there're so many of us
 Are there people still alone
 Why are the missiles called peace keepers
 When they're aimed to kill
 Why is a woman still not safe
 When she's in her home
 Love is hate
 War is peace
 No is yes
 We're all free
 But somebody's gonna have to answer
 Time is coming soon
 Amidst all these questions and contradictions
 There're some who seek the truth
 But tell me why do the babies starve
 There's enough food to feed the world
 Why when there're so many of us
 Are there people still alone
 Why are the missiles called peace keepers
 When they're aimed to kill
 Why is a woman still not safe
 When she's in her home
 Love is hate
 War is peace
 No is yes
 And we're all free
 But somebody's gonna have to answer
 The time is coming soon
 When the blind remove their blinders
 And the speechless speak the truth
 Tell me why do the babies starve
 There's enough food to feed the world
 Why when there're so many of us
 Are there people still alone
 And why are the missiles called peace keepers
 When they're aimed to kill
 Why is a woman still not safe
 When she's in her home
 Love is hate
 War is peace
 No is yes
 We're all free
