I Don't Know Why

I Don’t Know Why

Words & Music: David Bray

Ah

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

Humankind is so cruel

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

We work at playing the fool

Politics is the sword that divides us

We take a stab but make things worse

And I swear, yes I swear, yeah I swear

Their oaths become a curse

In the maze of politics

Go ahead choose left or right

You end up running in circles

No one wins the fight

We find ourselves making a fist

When we’re under their thumb

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

Humankind is so cruel

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

We work at playing the fool

Politics is the sword that divides us

We take a stab but make things worse

And I swear, yes I swear, yeah I swear

Their oaths become a curse

They say we need protection

But it feels like an STD

Another romantic notion

That turns into a disease

They’re calculating and we pay the price

The cost is far too high

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

Humankind is so cruel

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

We work at playing the fool

Politics is the sword that divides us

We take a stab but make things worse

And I swear, yes I swear, yeah I swear

Their oaths become a curse

If they had any vision

That might see us through

But history repeats itself

The future, the future is déjà vu

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

Humankind is so cruel

I don’t know why

I don’t know why

We work at playing the fool

Politics is the sword that divides us

We take a stab but make things worse

And I swear, yes I swear, yeah I swear

Their oaths become a curse
