Tell Me Why

Lyrics

[Hook: Vanilla Ice] Tell me why we all live and die? Why some people try suicide? Why do children have to fight for their lives? Tell me why? Tell me why? Why do priests molest a child? Why does war have to be so wild? Why do all politicians lie? Tell me why? Tell me why? [Verse 1: Vanilla Ice] Well, it's a mad mad world that we're living in today Hypnotize people remember Heaven's Gate Marshal Applewhite with the mass suicide Thinking the Hale-Bopp will take them to the afterlife Well that's fucked up just like 9-11 Mohammed Atta didn't even have a gun Seventy-two virgin wives going through his brain Killed 5,000 Americans, healed the pain Brainwashed by Osama Bin Laden Terrorized the world, shit will never be forgotten Like Jack the ripper back in day Killing innocent people sending them straight to their graves How about Jeffery Dahmer and Ted Bundy too Three serial killers out there, to name a few What the fuck is our future really going to be Will we see world peace or will we see catastrophe [Hook: Vanilla Ice] Tell me why we all live and die? Why some people try suicide? Why do children have to fight for their lives? Tell me why? Tell me why? Why do priests molest a child? Why does war have to be so wild? Why do all politicians lie? Tell me why? Tell me why? [Verse 2: Gemini] I don't know but sometime I feel I don't know Exactly how this world's goin to go I'm watching my TV screen And I can't believe what I'm seeing half the time Politicians lying with their big fake smiles in Children dying leaving momma's crying And molestations involving clergymen What the fuck is happenin'? I'm kinda glad that I'm not a father I'ma kill a motherfucker if they touch my son or my daughter If I have a seed they supposed to bury me Not me, bury them but that's not how it always how it is, uh-uh I think twice now about having a child And bringing 'em into a world that's chaotically wild Oh, I ask why it got be this way but no one answers And I ain't got none so the problems remain So, I say [Hook: Vanilla Ice] Tell me why we all live and die? Why some people try suicide? Why do children have to fight for their lives? Tell me why? Tell me why? Why do priests molest a child? Why does war have to be so wild? Why do all politicians lie? Tell me why? Tell me why? [Verse 3: C-Note] Death becomes us, we came from dust I can't let the ways of the world come and run us Like drugs and women, what's the reason for sinning I was promised eternal life from the beginning But look at Bush and his brother, look at Clinton and lover Kids on the street living foul without they mother He wasn't gay, he went to pray, he got touched by the priest John Lennon said that's when he was yelling for peace Halloween life full of tricks and treats, I put the world on my shoulders Now, they beggin' for peace, it can all be gone in a New York second Perfect example, September 11th, it's a church cover-up They hold me in water, learn to respect a women when I had my daughter They're your idol, your highest title like Kurt Cobain Kids mix the black tar with the cocaine Drinking liquor to ease the pain Like blood stains on the shirt, shit, I hope I remain Tell me why [Hook: Vanilla Ice] Tell me why we all live and die? Why some people try suicide? Why do children have to fight for their lives? Tell me why? Tell me why? Why do priests molest a child? Why does war have to be so wild? Why do all politicians lie? Tell me why? Tell me why? [Outro: Yvonne Elliman] Try not to worry Try not to turn onto problems that upset you Don't you know everything's alright, yes Everything's fine
