Tell Me Why Lyrics

Tell me why

The town crier still tries

Proclaims the place and time

A call to action

Just trying to get by

Our main infraction

Tell me who

Is acting more obtuse

The accuser the accused

The congregation

Acting too aloof

The allegation

You say I

Didn't try

Spent years just trying to keep up

You say more

Is what you're looking for

But how much is enough

Tell me when

Does all the fighting end

Nothing left to defend

That still wants saving

This wastleland we attend

Yours for the taking

Tell me how

Is what you said profound

You change the words around

Call it a breakthrough

Don't stay on my account

I'm empty but I'll make do

Tell me why

Tell me who

You say I

Didn't try

Spent years just trying to keep up

You say more

Is what you're looking for

But how much is enough

How much is enough
