Why

	  		Since you were born you watched TV 
A5                  G#5 F#5 
cartoons with violence and greed 
F#5                E5  D5 
in your world all that was OK 
D5               C#5  E5 
your parents never taught you right 
E5             F#5  G#5  A5 
from wrong, brother taught you to fight 
A5                  G#5 F#5 
it's time to show them what you've got 
F#5                E5  D5 
Time to show them what you've got 
D5               C#5  E5 
An attitude, a fancy car 
E5             F#5  G#5  A5 
your buddies got your back 
A5                  G#5 F#5 
your parents' house compared to yours 
F#5                E5  D5 
looks something like a shack 
D5               C#5  E5 
in your thirty seven guns 
E5             F#5  G#5  A5 
the bullets painted red 
A5                  G#5 F#5 
a simple stare is all it takes 
F#5                E5  D5 
to fill 'em up with lead but 
D5               C#5  E5 
Why, are you acting like you're someone else? 
E5             F#5  G#5  A5 
Why, can't you stop thinking about yourself 
A5                  G#5 F#5 
Last friday night you went driving 
F#5                E5  D5 
a stolen car and golden rings 
D5               C#5  E5 
it was something you just had to do 
E5             F#5  G#5  A5 
your little friends the cops caught you 
A5                  G#5 F#5 
you're sentenced for a long time 
F#5                E5  D5 
now tell me what you're gonna do 
D5               C#5  E5 
in a world where no one cares 
E5             F#5  G#5  A5 
labels i don't want to wear 
A5                  G#5 F#5 
i had a dream that i could once walk 
A5                  G#5 F#5 
safely in the streets 
D5               C#5  E5 
you had to take it away from me 
E5             F#5  G#5  A5 (let ring)
