The Specials – Why lyrics

Why did you try to hurt me?
I've got ten??????????
Did you really wanna kill me
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Why do we have to fight?
Why must we fight?
I have to defend myself from a crack last night
I know I am black, you know you are white
I'm proud of my black skin and you are proud of your white, so
Why did you try to hurt me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Did you really wanna kill me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
We don't need no British movement, nor the Ku Klux Klan, nor the national front
You make me a angry man
I just wanna live in peace
Why can't you be the same?
Why should I live in fear?
This fussing and fighting is insane
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
A Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
You follow like sheep in a wolf clothes
You follow like sheep in a wolf clothes
We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you through the door
We chase you out the dance hall, we chase you out the door
Cos' we can't take no more of this at all
Cos' we can't take no more of this at all
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You follow like sheep in a wolf clothes
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

You're too scared to make a speech during the light
Without a thousand police protecting your rights
To threaten and abuse, incite or fight
But who will protect me from you in the night?
Why did you try to hurt me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Do you really want to kill me?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
You follow like sheep in a wolf clothes
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Earth my friend; you're on the earth, me to
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
I know one of you, I know two of you
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Unholy by that mean I the National Front
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
They kick up my friend, him have me give me too
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Auto duel, evasion for
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
About?????????? If I waited on the government
?????????? If I waited on the government
'Cause we can't take no more of this at all
No, we can't take no more of this at all
With a Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
A Nazi salute and a steel capped boot
They follow like sheep in a wolf clothes
They follow like sheep in a wolf clothes
