Why Don't You Know (People are suffering)

LILY

[4 bars intro]

V1 (start note f) Why don’t you know

Are you so slow There’s a

deep lake dragging us down

pressing us til we drown

why aren’t we out there fighting

It’s no good sitting writing

V2 you have got to change your life

Face the problems seize the knife you are

Falling down in a pit

Don’t care all counterfeit

Stay there til we all die

Can’t you hear the kids cry?

CHORUS [Ascending scale]

Home truths got to be told

Shout it out big and bold

This is what’s going on

‘Til we make a new dawn

[DRUMS BREAK]

V3 My own mother lost to greed

Helping others take what they need

Look closely now at this picture

Hi tech making us richer

Hot air falls from a talk show

Now You can’t say you don’t know

V4 [variant] Toxic fumes shorten our lives

World burns up and sea shores fry

What is left for us to breathe

Rubbish pumping oil beneath

What give us the supremacy

Think hard about your legacy

Sitting there in your comfort

All our days are numbered

CHORUS RPT [Ascending scale]

Home truths got to be told

Shout it out big and bold

This is what’s going on

Until we make a new dawn

PLAY OUT

All your fault

All you it’s your fault

People everywhere are suffering
