Ask Why

[Verse 1]
Well, there's a panic on the streets
A reputation on the line
A revolution every minute
Nothing's gonna keep time
Ask why
Ask why

[Verse 2]
Well, the president's understudy
Fluffing his cues
He sure must have
The self-deception blues
Ask why
Ask why

[Chorus]
Ask why
No one ever looks at you straight in the face
Ask why
You're never at home but you're so outta place
Ask why
Ask why

[Verse 3]
The record's got so scratchy
And there's dust in evеry groove
And the needle keeps on jumping
Evеry time we make a move
Well, ask why
Ask why

[Verse 4]
Well, they think they caught the killer
But they kill him on first sight
Another kid gets murdered
Later on that night
Ask why
Ask why

[Chorus]
Ask why
The truth is always hiding between the lines
Ask why
We're living it up in kaleidoscope time
Ask why
Ask why

[Bridge]
No one trusts the enemy
Right in our midst
Don't know what you did now
But you're on the hit list (Ah)

[Chorus]
Ask why
No one even cared to look up at the sky
Ask why
The world's photogenic and you're camera shy
Ask why
Well, the world was in debt the day it died
Ask why
Well, life is so short and you may as well try
Ask why
Ask why

[Outro]
We'll talk hard now
Ah huh huh huh
We'll talk hard now
You
Hey
