Doc Jazz - Why The Innocent lyrics

You're telling me you're tired of seeing crimes of hate You're telling me its time to turn the tide Well you know that I agree that things have got to change But I say there's a way to do it right You're telling me you're tired of seeing sorrow and pain And that you want to stop injustice now But tell me whats the use of paying hate with hate Cause to me it seems that shouldn't be allowed If you believe that justice is a sacred thing Then show us that you're able to do right Cause if you think this winter can be turned to spring Well it doesn't with the flames that you ignite Why direct your anger at the weaker ones They are not the ones who caused you pain So why destroy their lives with your bombs and guns Do you think the hurt you cause will be your gain Why the innocent Tell me why oh why Why the innocent Tell me why oh why Why the innocent Why the innocent You can never win by causing more pain So my heart goes out to all who were slain Breaking mother's hearts is simply insane Cause when the tears are gone the anger remains And the cycle starts all over again ....
