Why

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! 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! Why! Why! Why!
