Looking for a reason why


You feel the winds of change; I feel there’s something strange
You see another lie; I see a look in your eye
You need a forty-five; I’m trying just to stay alive
Your words they don’t sound right you say that I must see the light
An you say trust in me, I say let’s wait and see
You see it in black and white; I can see trouble in sight
Your world seems so sad I don’t care if you think I’m mad
I’m trying to understand, I’m looking for a reason why

What are you gonna say when they ask the reason why
You built your walls and now the seeds are sown
What are you gonna do now there’s no place left to hide
It’s too late now you really should have know

Some say it had to be, too many saw the hanging tree
You know right from wrong we heard it all in Billie’s song
Sometimes when things ain’t right takes a man to see the light
You know it deep inside too many people lied.

So what are you gonna say when they ask the reason why
You built your walls and now the seeds are sown
What are you gonna do now there’s no place left to hide
It’s too late now you really should have know
You’re on your own
You’re on your own
You’re on your own
