GIVE ME A REASON

reasons avoid me
and this annoys me
and the cost of living
is reaching skyhigh
and the homeless thousands
get empty promises
and the TV people
live in their advert world

a question of rights
for untold ethnics
the colour of skin
a label of standards
a countless tribes
so short on their rights
to live on the land
that was once theirs

people avoid the reasons
why they kill and slaughter
while some try to make it better
theres always a God to stir it up
and theres roits in America
the so-called land of freedom
and was AIDS a man made diease
to kill an enemy that never lived?

and muslims have banned a book
because of its point of view
and whites murder blacks
in an Africa they call new
and politcians give us reasons
but are the reasons right
is it just propaganda
is that really alright?

and the reds are breaking down
and the whites are th bad men
you know its only individuals
that make things good or bad
wheres the reason for the China slaughter
wheres the reason for the Isreali war
it only takes one nut high up
to push a button and kill us all

now theres a hole in the ozone
and the Earth is dying
and its human pollution
making the world sigh
this Earth can only take so much
and already its almost too late
why does it have to be
and why can't people see

give me a reason
so i can cry at least
just give me a reason
so i can die in peace

"what is driving us on this suicidal path"
