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?
