Can you take it? How can I be strong When I see many things in the world is wrong? You know the love in the hearts is a thing of the past And living like this, how long can we last? Some are content to the way things are Well, not me, you know the road is far Take off your blindfolds and start to see clear Time's windin down, and the end is near Me speaking fact not fiction, pay attention Our world is in a critical condition Understand prejudice is rumor and lies And over this evil many people have died You know what blood's been shed over he-said she-said I don't let lies fill my head But you say it's like that and the way it is Well, that's my point, there's no love to give I say Why Why do we live this way? You know the killin and fightin Why Why do we live this way? You know the love is gone Why Why do we live this way? Weak you have to be strong Why Why do we live this way? A family of five tryin to survive They had 30 days till the welfare arrived Father was gone and nowhere in sight And to the little kids it just wasn't right You know the mother was wise to hide the cries Taught the kids well bout livin in hell Took on the problems from day to day And then at night to the Lord she prayed You know I'm livin in a world that doesn't even care Too many damn problems for me to bare Should I be strong or should I be weak? Or just ride the problems, go from week to week You know I read in the papers just the other day About a lady who was killed, it went this way Say little Mrs. Brown who never did a thing Was shot and killed over a wedding ring Yeah, it really was a shame, but who's to blame? Cause it's just another story that the world's insane You're sayin it's like that and the way it is But that's my point, there's no love to give Why Why do we live this way? You know the killin and fightin Why Why do we live this way? You know the love is gone Why Break it down (Children grow and women produce And men go work, and some go stealin Everyone's got to make a livin) Why Why do we live this way? You know the killin and fightin Why Why do we live this way? You know the love is gone Why (Why)
