lyrics

TELL ME WHY

VERSE 1

Bombs and guns
Dem a kill people and destroy their homes
It's been so long
So much violence it can't be undone

When you see what happened in Rwanda
When you see what happened in Armenia
When you see what's happening in Gaza
Babylon system is taking over

CHORUS

Tell me why
People dem kill for fun
Tell me why
Do wars go on and on
Tell me why
Hatred is the worst time bomb
Tell me why
Together we burn babylon

VERSE 2

All this wars
For no reason for no purpose
Dem establish laws
Violate our freedom to rule the world

Say no to the babylon sytem
We shall come together
With the fire we will burn dem
Say no to continuous opression
Emancipate yourself

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Bombs and guns
Dem a kill people and destroy their homes
It's been so long
So much violence it can't be undone

When you see
When you see
When you see

CHORUS

OUTRO

Everywhere the fire is burning (Tell me why)
Bombs and guns are raging (Tell me why)
Everywhere the fire is burning (Tell me why )
Bombs and guns are raging (Tell me why )

Its burning their soul
Its burning their gold
