What I Fail to Understand Songtext
von Sioen

An accident
Someone needs help
A child in tears, where are you?
Somebody fast
Get a doctor, please
An ambulance, where are you?

What I fail to understand
Why can′t we all go hand in hand
And put an end

A white stick
Digs its way through hell
It hesitates, traffic
Why don't you take him by the hand?
Are you turning him a blind eye?
Can′t help but pity you


What I fail to understand
Why can't we all go hand in hand
And put indifference to an end
What I fail to understand
Why can't we all go hand in hand
And put indifference to an end

Way to go
You don′t care about politics
And so your life is good and covered
Well, it′s not your fault
That things are going the wrong way
So you stay, ha!
Stepping on your territory
Christ, blue murder, fine, have your way
Don't come begging for help
′Cause no one will offer a hand on your way
If you don't speak, you lose the right to talk
If you don′t hit the streets
You ain't got the right to walk
I wonder, does a man just have clean hands
′Cause he's not using them?


What I fail to understand
Why can't we all go hand in hand
And put indifference to an end
What I fail to understand
Why can′t we all go hand in hand
And put indifference to an end

What I fail to understand
You gotta bleed to be a man
Indifference is washed away
Just take me by the hand

Yeah
What I fail to understand
Why can′t we all go hand in hand
And put indifference to an end
What I fail to understand
Why can't we all go hand in hand
And put an end
