Bumblebee

[Verse 1]
Oh, why does the bumblebee fly?
Oh why, oh why do people die?
Why is the wind blowin' so high?
Why, oh why, oh why?

[Verse 2]
Oh, see the grass and the great green tree
They are so pretty, I believe
Grass has roots, wind is free
And that's the way things are

[Verse 3]
Oh, see the water run from the mountains so high
It flows in the land, then runs dry
Comes from the rain all in the sky
Oh why, oh why, oh why?

[Verse 4]
Oh, I know a place where the cannonballs roll
And they hurt your body, and they hurt your soul
Aren't even worth a pound of coal
'Cause that's the way things are

[Verse 5]
Oh, why does the bumblebee fly?
Oh why, oh why do people die?
Why is the wind blowin' so high?
Oh why, oh why, oh why?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 6]
Oh now, I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
We are all God's little sheep
And that's the way things are

[Verse 7]
Oh, see the colt and the old gray mare
Like a babe she loves it for its care
So he can hear, see and share
And that's the way things are

[Verse 8]
Oh children, there is a game called war
It's a game that knows no rules or law
A child is killed against the wall
And nobody even cares at all

[Verse 9]
Oh, why does one man love
And why does one man hate?
Why do we learn too late?
Oh why, oh why, oh why?

[Verse 10]
Oh, here is a dollar bill in my hand
It's made of paper and nothin' more
It's funny how it makes people come to your door
And that's the way things are

[Verse 11]
Oh, where has the brown thrush gone
And why can't we hear his song?
What's the difference of right from wrong
Why, oh why, oh why?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 12]
Oh, why does the bumblebee fly?
Oh why, oh why, do people die?
Why is the wind blowin' so high?
Why, oh why, oh why?

[Verse 13]
Why is the wind blowin' so high
Ohhh
Why, oh why, oh why?
'Cause that's the way things are
