Fishbone - Why Do We Keep On Dying Lyrics

Fishbone Lyrics

"Why Do We Keep On Dying"

Got the people talking
Got the Elders watching
Got the children crying
Why lord do we keep dying?

Got the people talking
Got the Elders watching
Got the children crying
Why lord do we keep dying?

Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Must this blood soaked earth cry out while justice wanes
Tell me why?
Tell me why?
Is my humanity worth less than you say?

Got the people talking
Got the Elders watching
Got the children crying
Why lord do we keep dying?

Got the people talking
Got the Elders watching
Got the children crying
Why lord do we keep dying?

Am I subhuman to you?
Though you are mentally enslaved
By the system you create
To justify your lust and hate
You can arrest and cage me
Unjust laws you use to degrade me
No safe harbor can I find
And you do it all the time

So please don't forget
Teach your children
Pay your debt
So please don't forget
Teach your children
Pay your debt

Got the people talking
Got the Elders watching
Got the children crying
Why lord do we keep dying?

Got the people talking
Got the Elders watching
Got the children crying
Why lord do we keep dying?
