The Indians - If the Children Ask Why lyrics

Living in the 90's trying to get buy recession's hitting hard makes the price of living high suppression, depression you wonder why you're poor politicians promising you're gonna have more more bills more taxes more money to pay Makes you wonder why you're working your whole life away some are born into money and never have to worry spend their time doing nothing while you spend yours in a hurry Living 9 to 5 can fill you full of stress full of wondering what it's all about and leave you depressed while the man on the TV says inflation's getting higher leaves you feeling down and out with only one desire to fill your belly with the bottle that will ease the pain either that or you feel like you'll just go insane some say it's a sad time living the lies with pockets full of money why open their eyes It's a groovy love vibration, coast to coast and nation to nation I feel the earth under the sky beneath my feet I hear her cry I close my eyes at night to pray If the children ask why what will we say Education is falling like the rise of inflation depression is spreading like disease through the nations united we stand, divided we fall the answers lie within us all People are people, we're one and the same we can't point a finger if there's no one to blame A man on the corner carries a sign testament to the truth that we're blinded It's a groovy love vibration, coast to coast and nation to nation I feel the earth under the sky beneath my feet I hear her cry I close my eyes at night to pray If the children ask why what will we say We're just trying to spread some enthusiasm and indianism I N D I A N I S M adopting all creatures as brothers an sisters one nation under a groovy yin yang and do our own thing harmony with nature just as our ancestors knew and prophesized the coming Armageddon our common karma psychedelia warning is the hole in the ozone rapidly depleting supplies of air food and water saying sayonara baby and diminishing our chances of survival at an outstanding alarming rate get with it baby basically anything you believe in your mind has the possibility to become a reality respect out to the DJ Did you every start to think or ever start to wonder what the world would be like if the world knew no color if we knew no injustice like the color of hate we could secure our future to a fortunate fate because united we stand divided we fall it's a wonder we're still here at all because the land of the brave is the home of the free and if you choose to be afraid then I guess you don't see that the more you love the less you fear I'll say it once more in case you did not hear that you can choose to live by love or choose to live a lie but if you do don't forget to kiss the children goodbye
