Good Riddance - Tell Me Why lyrics

To those in power it's always the same Made so resistant to reason Why just deny all the voices for change As we stumble and fall stripping the process away So who stands to gain from the righteous refrain They say you get what you pay for So we breach one more soul toss them out on the dole Our shroud of indifference belies our benevolent tones [Chorus] So tell me why You fight for your life then you throw me away Tell me why You legislate opinion and say it's ok, it's never ok! So just what makes a life, what divides where we fall And who decides which are chosen But while we fight for the good like it's all understood We lose what we love and morality's frozen away [Chorus] So what defines sacrament unholy vows As you justify innocence somehow How can I rationalize your morality As you legislate your sad opinions on me
