Why Songtext
von Annie Lennox

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I′m sorry for the things I've done? Ooh
But when I start to try to tell you, that′s when you have to tell me
"Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun," yeah, yeah, yeah

I tell myself too many times
"Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut?" Oh
That′s why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth

Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me, why?

I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you′re thinking, oh, ooh

And I've heard it said too many times that you′d be better off
Besides, why can't you see this boat is sinking?
This boat is sinking, this boat is sinking
It′s sinking, sinking, sinking down now


Let's go down to the water′s edge
And wе can cast away those doubts, mm-mm
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out, mm-mm

Turning inside out
Turning inside out
Tell me, why?

This is the sound of drones and guns
Watch the people run, run, run
Shoot to kill them just for fun
Bodies falling one by one

Stood back while they blow the fuse
Those who win and those who lose
Those who conquer and abuse
It's just a game

Everything that we have seen
Captured on your iPhone screen
Can't conceal the howling screams
Oblivion, oblivion rains
Oblivion rains

Tell me, why?

Let Gaza live
