"Frontline (Unplugged)" lyrics

Why, why, why, why
Frontline
Livin' on the frontline
Livin' on the frontline
Livin' on the frontline

I don't care if you're black or white
I don't care if you're left or right
It takes all kinds to make this world turn
So when will we finally learn

Our children are crying
And their future's dying
And there's nobody trying
Nobody trying

Why, why, why, why
Are we livin' on the frontline
Why, why, why, why
Are we livin' on the frontline

In the ghetto, there's no wind of change
Just the same old game rearranged
Throughout the whole world, there's so much distress
And there's a feeling of hopelessness

And there's no disguising
The whole world's rising
Is it so surprising
Is it so surprising

Why, why, why, why
Are we livin' on the frontline
Why, why, why, why
Are we livin' on the frontline

We gotta help each other (Help each other)
We gotta help each other (We got to help one another, help one another)

Black, white, brown, all of you
There's so much that you can do
For the man without a face
Make his world a better place
Don't pretend that he don't exist
Don't force the people to resist
Bend a knee and raise a fist
Against oppression, no more aggression

Why, why, why, why
Are we livin' on the frontline
Why, why, why, why
Are we livin' on the frontline
Why, why, why, why
Are we livin' on the frontline
Frontline
