Why? (Live FM Broadcast Remastered)
Why do the babies starve?
There's enough food to feed the world
(Hang on)
Why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world?
Why when there's so many of us
Are there people still alone?
Why are the missiles called Peacekeepers
When they're aimed to kill?
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
'Cause love is hate
And war is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
Amidst all these questions and contradictions
There're some who seek the truth
Tell me, why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world?
Why when there's so many of us
Are there people still alone?
And why are the missiles called Peacekeepers
When they're aimed to kill?
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
'Cause love is hate
And war is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth
Tell me, why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world?
And why when there's so many of us
Are there people still alone?
And why are the missiles called Peacekeepers
When they're aimed to kill?
And why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
'Cause love is hate
And war is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
Yeah-ay
There's enough food to feed the world
(Hang on)
Why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world?
Why when there's so many of us
Are there people still alone?
Why are the missiles called Peacekeepers
When they're aimed to kill?
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
'Cause love is hate
And war is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
Amidst all these questions and contradictions
There're some who seek the truth
Tell me, why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world?
Why when there's so many of us
Are there people still alone?
And why are the missiles called Peacekeepers
When they're aimed to kill?
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
'Cause love is hate
And war is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth
Tell me, why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world?
And why when there's so many of us
Are there people still alone?
And why are the missiles called Peacekeepers
When they're aimed to kill?
And why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
'Cause love is hate
And war is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
Yeah-ay
