Tell Me Why

Build a wall around Berlin
Try to keep the world outside
From Threadneedle to Wall Street
They're just cutting up pieces of the pie
Just take a look around
See what we have done

Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Hang your head and cry

Look out any window
Just watch the sun go down
With a smokestack for a paintbrush
We're talking green and red and yellow and purple and blue and brown
Just take a deeper breath
Hear the time bomb ticking away

Come sit down to dinner
Oh put your toys away
Poor baby you must be hungry
And what you don't want you can just throw it away
The sins of our fathers
Its children must pay
