Why Does It Go On

You know it ain't right to beat a man when he's down Know it ain't right to eat when the hunger's around It keeps on worrying me, as all around I see And still it goes on, why does it go on Why does it go on You know it ain't right to take another man's life You know it ain't right to take another man's wife Keeps getting through to me, as everywhere I see Why does it go on Why does it go on Why does it go on They don't want love today It's heading all the way They'll burn your book and pencil, boy Throw your mind away A man don't steal but has to work for his pay Let me tell you one thing A poker man deals from the top when he plays But all good things we take, we don't build, we just break Why does it go on Why does it go on Why does it go on They don't want love today It's heading all the way They'll burn your book and pencil, boy Throw your mind away A man don't steal, but has to work for his pay Let me tell you one thing A poker man deals from the top when he plays But all good things we take, we don't build, we just break Why does it go on Why does it go on Why does it go on Yeah
