(FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME) WHY? Written by Sheldon Manoo (1995)

Why undermine the man

Who do the best he can      to be himself

Why underline the things

That never ever brings      any help

I see the Son of the Holy One

I see the devil and it’s on the run

I see the people who give a damn to nothing

And all these people they want to get something

 

Why ostracize yourself from the candlelight

When tomorrow just gonna be another night

Why ask so many questions

Make so many suggestions      no one replies to

For I got a needing

And an overgrown feeling    you never knew

 

Oh let me

Let me let me be

Don’t let me lose my mind

My thoughts, my enemy

 

Oh set me

Set me, set me free

Open this prison

Of unconscious memory

 

I see the future in the eyes of that old man

Sitting in the roadside with an almost empty bottle in hand

I see the past in the eyes of that young baby

I see everything but no one sees me

 

(solo)

 

Why emphasize the lies

That turns your paradise     to chaos

Why prophesize the word

When it is no good     to us

I see the daughter of the evil one

I see The Lord and it’s coming down

I see people trying their best to make it

But many of these people just can’t take it

Why complicate yourself when there’s simplicity

Why love in the dark when there is electricity

I’ll never know what you know

But I know that I am going where I want to go so

 

Oh let me

Let me let me be

Don’t let me lose my mind

My thoughts, my enemy

 

Oh set me

Set me, set me free

Open this prison

Of unconscious memory

 

Oh let me

Let me let me be

Don’t let me lose my mind

My thoughts, my enemy

 

Oh set me

Set me, set me free

Open this prison

Of unconscious memory

Oh let me

Let me let me be

Don’t let me lose my mind

My thoughts, my enemy

 

Oh set me

Set me, set me free

Open this prison

Of unconscious memory
