Mike & The Mechanics

Mike & The Mechanics - Why Me? lyrics

These are dangerous times

that were living in

and there are dangerous signs

that were giving in to fear

late one night, I'm lying here

I thought I heard a sound.

Tell the mothers and the babes

tell the old, tell the sick they will be safe

get the young males. Tell them to be brave

I was so concerned with saving live

I never saw you pull the knife.

High on the mountains

across seven seas

All of the people

why me, why me?

Do you feel so frustrated

Frightened and feared

answer my question

Why me, why me, why me

why me, why me, why me?

You're such an angry young man

with all your grievances

people don't understand,

they just can't understand

what you must do to stay alive.

So you try to justify

all the violence and hate, before your eyes.

Through the ages better men than you have tried

to give what is not theirs to give

to take the land where others live.

High on the mountains

across seven seas

all of the people why me, why me?

Do you feel so frustrated

frightened and feared

answer my question

why here, why now,

why here, why now, hey here,

why now, why me?

Oh, for now you have the power

the guns and all the swords

but nature has a nasty habit

of balancing her flaws.

Now you may try to break my body

lock me up and throw away the key

but you'll never break my spirit

I'm free!
