I'd Like to Know

Why do your warships ride on my waters?
Why do these bombs fall down from the sky?
Why do you burn my towns and my cities?
I'd like to know, I'd like to know

I'd like to know, friend, I'd like to know
There's a hungry lips ask me wherever I go
There's comrades and friends a-falling around me
I'd like to know, I'd like to know

You locked me in jail, you throwed me in prison
Your hospitals packed, your asylums are full
Where are my food, my soap, and my warm clothes?
I'd like to know, I'd like to know

Why do your warships all death to my people?
Nitro explosives, cannons and bombs
Where have you taken my sons and my daughters?
I'd like to know, I'd like to know
