Tell me why, tell me why Why are they always pushing me? Block my vision so I can't see Hold me down while they grind on me Mind your own, just let me be Go let them in, there are our friends As long as they play Monopoly Nothing to hide, set up the scene Heading a false reality We need a hype, got a hype If we believe in what they say Closer to me, rather behind It don't seem so far away Watch your mouth on mindless beach Be your best, stay on your feet Cry to so when you weep Why are they always hounding me? Why? Tell me why? Brother's crying, sons are dying Sounds of weapons, bullets flying Never giving always taking Filled with lies, always faking Never carry, never shake Always rough and overbearing Why do you want to fight with me? Tell me why, tell me why Sell them tractors, give them seeds Help them boost their economy Let them up and hear their pleads Mind your own, just set them free It's closer than you know
