Lyrics

WHY CAN'T I

SOMEBODY TOLD ME THERE IS A HOLE IN THE SKY
SOMEBODY OUGHT TO FIX THAT SOMETIME
I'M SITTING HERE ON THE GROUND
GOT MY HEAD LOOKING DOWN
WHY CAN'T I

SOMEBODY TOLD ME THERE IS A WAR IN THE EAST
SOMEBODY OUGHT TO STOP THAT SOME TIME
THERE'S PEOPLE WHO ARE SHOOTING
AND THERE'S PEOPLE WHO ARE DYING
WHY CAN'T I

CHORUS:
THEY SAY THAT HELPING OTHER FOLKS IS THE TICKET
I'VE NEVER REALLY BEEN THAT INCLINED
WELL I'M HERE ON THE GROUND
I'M LOOKING AROUND
I GUESS I COULD JUST START TRYING


IT COST A HUNDRED MILLION TO SEND UP A ROCKET
WITH STARVING PEOPLE WAITING IN LINE
SOMEBODY OUGHT TO HELP THEM OUT
AND PUT THEIR HAND IN THEIR POCKET

WHY CAN'T I WHY CANT I

CHORUS:




THERE'S TROUBLE EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD HERE TODAY
IT REALLY IS ENOUGHT TO GET YOU DOWN
WELL I'D REALLY LIKE TO HELP
BUT I'M HEADING OUT OF TOWN
WHY CAN'T I WHY CAN'T I

WHY CANT' I
WHY CAN'T I
