Tell Me Why
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
