Tell Me Why Lyrics
A day with no glory
A heart filled with fear
Still repeating his-story to make ourselves clear
A voice is unheard when it shouts from the hills
Your king in his castle never died on these fields
There's blood on your hands
A smile on your face
A wicked intention when there's money to be made
A room with no windows and a heart that can't feel
Shame with no convictions and a view to a kill.
Tell me why?
Why must we fight?
And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right?
No more! no war!
Cause how do you know?
The hate in your eyes
The lies on your tongue
A hand that kills the innocent
So quick to do wrong
Your belly is full while we fight for what remains
The rich getting richer while the poor become slaves
We kill our own brothers
The truth is never told
If victory is freedom then the truth is untold
Surrender your soul just like everyone else
If love is my religion, don't speak for myself
Tell me why?
Why must we fight?
And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right?
No more! no war!
Cause how do you know?
How do you know?
How do you know?
How do you know?
Please tell me why?
Why must we fight?
And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right?
No more! no war!
Cause how do you know?
I'm living this life
I'm given these lies
And how do I die for the name of what you think is right?
No more! oh Lord!
Cause how do we know?
And how do we know?
A heart filled with fear
Still repeating his-story to make ourselves clear
A voice is unheard when it shouts from the hills
Your king in his castle never died on these fields
A smile on your face
A wicked intention when there's money to be made
A room with no windows and a heart that can't feel
Shame with no convictions and a view to a kill.
Why must we fight?
And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right?
No more! no war!
Cause how do you know?
The lies on your tongue
A hand that kills the innocent
So quick to do wrong
Your belly is full while we fight for what remains
The rich getting richer while the poor become slaves
We kill our own brothers
The truth is never told
If victory is freedom then the truth is untold
Surrender your soul just like everyone else
If love is my religion, don't speak for myself
Why must we fight?
And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right?
No more! no war!
Cause how do you know?
How do you know?
How do you know?
Why must we fight?
And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right?
No more! no war!
Cause how do you know?
I'm given these lies
And how do I die for the name of what you think is right?
No more! oh Lord!
Cause how do we know?
And how do we know?

I disagree I think every band has a right 2 express they believe in. I think it's dumb whenever people like u say stupid shit like that! If u dont like it dont listen to it!! Fucking Douchebag!
Ahh this song makes me feel slightly gloomy ;P
It's just a song that seems to express how I felt in the young days. I always wanted answers as to why why why there were so many wars in the past, why everything felt so wrong. I personally feel really good when a band makes songs like this, it makes me feel like I'm not the only one with these thoughts and it makes me not forget about these thoughts either. We live in such a beautiful world and we destroy it with endless bombs ;P I just find it funny how we're at such a great time of human evolution and yet, everything is actually really corrupt.
Okay everybody keeps saying that they are slamming Christianity, but in all reality he isnt slamming any religion. He is saying that we shouldn't fight just because somebody doesnt believe in God.
They are christians...
They are christians...
This song has nothing to do with any kind of religion. it just says that we, the citizens and soldiers, die for somebody else's belief and point of view. moreover, if you don't like these kind of songs - do not listen to them, even though i think that it's way better than all these "i'm-a-slutty-bitch-go-fuck-your-mother" songs. Open your mind for a different kind of lyrics.
have fun.
You see... P.O.D. is a christian band... So, it kinda does have to do with religion. Although it doesn't say so in the song. But you know, murder is against one of the ten commandments. And killing, even in war, is murder. Just to let you know.

and, P.O.D. (Payable On Death) references Jesus dying on the cross, fyi

Damn, I hate it when my favorite bands start singing about politics. I don't wanna hear that crap in my music.
Calm down alejandro, if you can't handle people's opinions, you shouldn't be posting. I personally think it ruins a band when they start preaching things like this in their songs. Especially a Christian band, who's supposed to be preaching about Christ, instead he's slamming and insulting someone who he should be respectful of. Kinda makes me lose my respect for them, as it disappoints me and saddens me that they're turning in this direction when they used to be my favorite band as a kid and actually inspired me to be more faithful and religious when I turned into an adult. Now this just saddens me.
The band is essentially preaching about the teachings of God.

Doesnt the bible preach against hate and killing and forgiving one another like our father...
Doesnt the bible preach against hate and killing and forgiving one another like our father constantly forgives us? Why must we fight? Hes not so much slamming politics as much as asking why countries ultimately result to fighting to solve problems.
I dunno. I think it's a brilliant song, as well as the others from this album. At least now I know that I'm not the only one, who thinks that the world is one big stinking shithole governed by figureheads without a soul.
