Why Lyrics

Why would you want to

Hurt or kill or maim
To take a dream or life away

And why would you hear the calling

In your Napoleonic mind

To hurt so many people that way

Why would you want to pull the trigger

Of a black shaft of steel

Where have you lost the ability to feel

And why would you want to put a stop

To something moving so strong

Didn't your mother teach you right from wrong
Why

How could you think it over

And still you follow through

Is there no one in this world who loves you

And what would inspire such violence

I haven't got a clue

What a truly wasteful thing to do
What makes a person like you tick

Are there voices in your head

Why would you want to see another dead

And I'm not one for choosing sides

Because I've always been alone

But I heard the news today across the telephone

They a said a boy from a band

With a good looking future had it taken away

And all that you've left me to say is

Why
