Why do the babies starve
There s enough food to feed the world
Why when there re so many of us
Are there people still alone
Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they re aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she s in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we re all free
But somebody s gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
Admidst all these questions and contradictions
There re some who seek the truth
Tell me why do the babies starve
There s enough food to feed the world
Why when there re so many of us
Are there people still alone
Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they re aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she s in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we re all free
But somebody s gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth
Tell me why do the babies starve
There s enough food to feed the world
Why when there re so many of us
Are there people still alone
Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they re aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she s in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we re all free
