[Chorus]
Why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world?
Why when there are so many of us
Are there people still alone?
Why are the missiles called Peacekeepers
When they're aimed to kill?
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
[Post-Chorus]
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
[Verse 1]
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
Amidst all these questions and contradictions
There are some who seek the truth
[Chorus]
Tell me, why do the babies starve?
When there's enough food to feed the world
Why when there are so many of us
Are there people still alone?
Why are the missiles called Peacekeepers
When they're aimed to kill?
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
[Post-Chorus]
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
[Verse 2]
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth
[Chorus]
Tell me, why do the babies starve?
When there's enough food to feed the world
Why when there are so many of us
Are there people still alone?
Why are the missiles called Peacekeepers
When they're aimed to kill?
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
[Post-Chorus]
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
