lyrics

They march down the street, all the men in white hats
And no one can speak, not even a rat
Nobody will shoot, nobody will cry
Don’t you ask why. Don’t you ask why.

We’ve been chosen and blessed to live in this mess
Still in our heads is so much unrest
So we’ll cut them down, all the beasts in their minds
Let them lie in the street for all to see
Don’t you ask why.

They’re mommy and dad, their children well fed
They know how to work and weed in the bed
And all eyes can see that it’s meant to be
God made it this way so we can be
Just you and me raising our family
Don’t you ask why.

But what brought us here? Is it all the fear
Of what we don’t know? Of what we don’t hear?
Why are they crying? Who here is lying?
Saying God is with us, and not with them
That they are sin. Don’t you ask why?
