Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Tell me why, tell me why
You ain't living but you do not die
Tell me why, tell me why
You ain't laughing but you do not cry
Cry for the young man
Who's fighting for your mind
Cry for the old man
That's just past his time
Tell me why, tell me why
You ain't living but you do not die
Oh, tell me why
Tell me why the leaves
Well, they fall with your breath
And if the leaves don't fall
When they leave your breath to rest
Your rebellion puts you up to the test
To the nation for evaluation
Watching you wild
With their radio station
Now I'm done playing the game
Oh yeah
Just searching for shading
With the tide with your tired mind
Put your breakup to the side
Oh, you can tell me why, tell me why
You ain't living but you do not die
Tell me why, tell me why
You ain't laughing but you do not cry
Cry for the young man
Who's fighting for your mind
Cry for the old man
That's just past his time
Tell me why, tell me why
You ain't living but you do not die
You do not
Die with the masked man
The gas man, the tax man
He's putting taxes on tax, man
While reaching out with the wrong hands
Singing to the systematic static
Television addict
Singing all in the attic
Can't seem to see
All the plastic in the water, babe
You wouldn't want that
For your daughter, babe
Thinking logical love and
Making logical love and
Forget what you've learnt and
You know that I yearn for you
Tell me why, tell me why
You ain't living but you do not die
Tell me why, tell me why
You ain't laughing but you do not cry, ooooh
Cry for the young man
Who's fighting for your mind
Cry for the old man
that's just past his time
Tell me why, tell me why
You ain't living but you do not die
(1, 2 / 1, 2, 3, 4)
Tell me why, tell me why
You ain't living but you do not die
Tell me why, tell me why
You ain't laughing but you do not cry
Cry for the young man
Who's fighting for your mind
Cry for the old man
Who's just past his time
Tell me why
Tell me why
You ain't living but you do not die
Tell me why
