Why Video (MV)

Why did we evolve only to expand
Stopping only when we got all of another's lands
Why do we consume everything we see
Stopping only when we feel so sick we can't eat

Why do we keep populating the earth
When we know we can't grow enough food in this dirt
Why do we waste so much of what we make
When the landfill full we'll just dump it in the lake

Why did we all fall into the trap
Of the unarbited targeted marketing crap
Start with the facts: corporations are people, or so the courts say
Privacy a thing of the past, or you could move to Norway

The AG reviving archaic mandatory minimals
Daily the truth erodes in a process that's subliminal
We treat children like they criminals ripping them apart
From their families, honestly I don't know where to start

Why do those who privileged have to prey on the week
The sadists indeed are painted as the saviors
But they slavers and cheats who bear the blame for the chains on our feet
The bankers tainted money made from games of deceit

So the middle class shrinks and shrivels
Little by little the rich leaving the rest to try to solve the riddle
As the days fade time erodes and years go by
But I still see a glimmer of hope I don't know why

Why do I find myself gazing at the sky
Tryna find the moment time passed me by
Why does it hurt so much to look upon our regrets and
Reject the effects built upon false precepts

Why does power absolutely corrupt
Why is too much of anything never enough
Why do we leave veterans neglect and ever leave him begging with cups
Why should I have pride? I know it's cause I'll never give up

Why do we protect cold blooded murderers
Of unarmed men then pretend we never heard of em
DOJ reports find this pervasive and prevalent
Killing a man cause of his melanin

Why did men lose the right to cry
Why do women have to fight for every right not to be denied
Why is it every time I feel we turning the tide
I catch a glimmer of a cross just burning in eyes

Why is it ok if it's a white lie
Why is it such a pain being a nice guy
I look to the night sky and see a shooting star
But I don't make a wish I just wonder who we are

Why was I looking at the moment of the flash
Ash pass as the death of a meteor enter the past
Turned to dust that one day gon' fall to the earth
And I'm left to wonder what's it all worth I don't see why

Why does the 28th year seem to capture souls
Deaths pile up and now we mourn with the caskets closed
Why are the greatest artists haunted by these demons
Driven to a substance that could make stop breathin

It's Amy winehouse it's Curt Cobain
It's Jimi Hendrix lost and now it's all in vain
We feel they pain but we only doubling down
Why did it take so long to see why in trouble in town

Why did we allow doctors to start hustling pills
OCs take these cause your sufferings real
Oh gee, it may seem they've enough of the bills
But this is America, they don't give a f*ck if your healed

But they hope that you're hooked so now we open the book and
Ask why so many die so broken and shook
Overdosing and choking on this dope from the crooks
Potent potions sold to numb both the cold and the cooked

Leaving us teetering on the precipice above the abyss
Teaching us each of us know death has the loveliest kiss
Why did it come to this for us to wake from the dream
Why can't a politician say what he mean

I make it my mission to understand and never deny
Experience of another man I stare in the eye
I'm hoping that one day I'll get a reply
And I can respond when someone wanna ask me why
