Don't You Wonder Why

Don't you wonder why there are people on the streets Waiting for a meal, searching for some place to sleep Some are young, some are getting old Few have hope but they need something real to hold Some know better, some don't know Others got homes but they're safer sleeping in the cold Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder everybody's in need You look upon the others as you look down upon your feet You say your running low while you buy Mercedes Benz Call it half a dollar someone calls it fifty cents You're a catalyst and a criminal but they don't treat you any less As you shout towards the alter and demand your forgiveness Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why When something catches your ever knowing eyes Bet you wonder why It took you such a long time You can't just sit there curtains drawn Wishing that you could see more Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why there is murder on T.V Youth robbing stores, lovers who beat Everybody's at war against someone with more The rich fight the rich, the poor feed the poor Too afraid to look upon a helpless scream While children shoot all there friends On a television screen Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why So while you sit there counting all the chips stacked in front of you And redefine your existence with your every slippery move You've tried to be sincere but sarcasms dripping from your tongue You're forsaken, you leave every conversation Like you've won Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why When something catches your ever knowing eyes Bet you wonder why it took you such a long time You can't just sit there curtains drawn Wishing that you could see more Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why Don't you wonder why
