Why lyrics by Tracy Chapman
Why do the babies starveThere'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 the woman still not safe
when she's in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
We're all free, but
somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
amidst all these questions and contradictions
there's some who seek the truth
So tell me Why do the babies starve
There's enough food to feed the world
Why, when there's so many of us
Are there people still alone
Why the missiles called peacekeepers
when they aimed to kill
Why is the woman still not safe
when she's in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
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
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 the woman still not safe
when she's in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
We're all free
