The Tide - Tell Me Why lyrics

Tell me why, tell me why You ain't living but you do not die Tell me why, tell me why You ain't laughing but you do not cry Cry for the young man Who's fighting for your mind Cry for the old man Who's just pa**ed its time Tell me why, tell me why You ain't living but you do not die Oh, tell me why… Tell me why the leaves, will they fall with your breath And if the leaves don't fall, they leave your breath to rest Your rebellion puts he up to the test To the nation for evaluation While she wild with their radio station Now I'm done playing their game, oh, yeah Just searching for shade and you could tie that your tired mind that you break up to the side Tell me why, tell me why You ain't living but you do not die Tell me why, tell me why You ain't laughing but you do not cry Cry for the young man Who's fighting for your mind Cry for the old man Who's just pa**ed its time Tell me why, tell me why You ain't living but you do not die You do not Die with the ma** man, the gas man, the tax man He springs taxes on tax men while reaching out with their own hands Singing to the systematic Static television addict Sitting on your attic Can't seem to see all the plastic in the water bay You wouldn't want that for your daughter babe Technological advances make no logical advances Forget what you learned that you move that I [?] for you Tell me why, tell me why You ain't living but you do not die Tell me why, tell me why You ain't laughing but you do not cry Cry for the young man Who's fighting for your mind Cry for the old man Who's just pa**ed its time Tell me why, tell me why You ain't living but you do not die Tell me why, tell me why You ain't living but you do not die Tell me why, tell me why You ain't laughing but you do not cry Cry for the young man Who's fighting for your mind Cry for the old man Who's just pa**ed its time Tell me why, tell me why You ain't living but you do not die Oh, tell me why
