From the recording Why Why Why
Why Why Why is a philosophical song about humanity. It asks a few big questions about our Birth, Life and Death, Pain and Suffering, Freedom, Hope, Love and Peace. Why do we call ourselves 'civilized' yet continue to engage in warfare to kill one another ? Why do we call Jerusalem a holy city, which is rather a trouble spot on Earth ? 'Peace never will' is a 'fill in the blank'. The outcome shall be 'Peace never will be accomplished' or 'Peace never will be forgotten until it has been accomplished'. It is up to the humans themselves. Planet Earth will end in self-destruction or the humans will enter the Golden Age, when the whole world will become a truely civilized society with Love and Peace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lyrics
Why were we born ?
Why were we torn ?
Why did we mourn ?
Why Why Why ?
Up there in the sky
All the birds fly
Down on the earth we're chained and cry
Why Why Why ?
Why Why ? Why Why ?
Why Why ......
Why did they fight ?
Why did they kill ?
Why did they die ?
Why Why Why ?
Up there in the sky
All the birds fly
Down on the earth we're chained and cry
Why Why Why ?
Why Why ? Why Why ?
Don't know why we were born
Don't know why we were torn
Don't know why we mourn
Don't know why we fight
Don't know why we kill
Don't know why we die
There was no free meal
So why did they steal ?
Why the pain so real ?
Why Why Why ?
Up there in the hill
Happy we feel
Down in the town Jerusalem
Peace never will
Never will Never will...
La La La La La...
