LYRICS:
[CHORUS]
Why do you have to kill someone?
Why do you have to exist?
Why'd you end their lives with a gun?
Why do we live like this?
Why did we make this wrong turn?
'Cuz now the house is on fire.
We are watching the country burn.
Is this the heights we aspire?
Stop this ice on fire.
We thought we were domesticated.
Changed so much through the ages.
And found the errors of our ways.
Til you killed another innocent today.
I don't understand why it's allowed.
You'd think they'd have stopped it by now.
Why are they letting this go on?
Innocent lives are forever gone.
[CHORUS]
Why do you have to kill someone?
Why do you have to exist?
Why'd you end their lives with a gun?
Why do we live like this?
Why did we make this wrong turn?
Why did they start this fire.
Why are we watching this country burn.
Is this the heights we aspire?
Stop this ice on fire.
We're just bystanders now scared.
The news of murder is everywhere.
Fearing for our lives. Fearing the worst.
This is not the last, and not the first.
[SOLO]
We ask our leader to help us all.
It's clear he doesn't care who falls.
But he's setting that fire underneath.
Who's gonna get murdered next? You or me?
[CHORUS]
Why do you have to kill someone?
Why do you have to exist?
Why'd you end their lives with a gun?
Why do we live like this?
Why did we make this wrong turn?
Why did they start this fire.
Why are we watching this country burn.
Is this the heights we aspire?
Stop this ice on fire.
