Tracy Chapman - Why? Lyrics
Why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world
Why when there're so many of us
Are there people still alone
Why are the missiles called peace keepers
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
There're some who seek the truth
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth

Tracy Chapman Why? Comments
The words are on point and Painfully still so relevant today
Classified! !!
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 peace keepers
When they're aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
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
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
And the speechless speak the truth
I love her so much and her words are strong,straight, and true
So sad how relevant this still is ... starvation, women not safe in their homes, war ...

Been waiting for this for so longgg to come on here
Such a good song!
what an amazing song and still relevant today
“Usually adult males who are unable to make emotional connections with the women
they choose to be intimate with are frozen in time,
unable to allow themselves to love for fear that the loved one will abandon them.
If the first woman they passionately loved, the mother, was not true to her bond of love,
then how can they trust that their partner will be true to love.
Often in their adult relationships these men act out again and again to test their partner's love.
While the rejected adolescent boy imagines that he can no longer receive his mother's love
because he is not worthy, as a grown man he may act out in ways that are unworthy
and yet demand of the woman in his life that she offer him unconditional love.
This testing does not heal the wound of the past, it merely reenacts it,
for ultimately the woman will become weary of being tested and end the relationship,
thus reenacting the abandonment.
This drama confirms for many men that they cannot put their trust in love.
They decide that it is better to put their faith in being powerful, in being dominant.”
Bell Hooks
“Dominator culture teaches all of us that the core of our identity is defined by the will to dominate and control others.
We are taught that this will to dominate is more biologically hardwired in males than in females.
In actuality, dominator culture teaches us that we are all natural-born killers
but that males are more able to realize the predator role.
In the dominator model the pursuit of external power,
the ability to manipulate and control others, is what matters most.
When culture is based on a dominator model,
not only will it be violent
but it will frame all relationships as power struggles.”
Bell Hooks
There is no excuse for violence against women.
Children should learn in every school
what it means to give love in a relationship
and take proper
responsibility for the own children
the does and donts in family life
especially the
ground rules of nonviolent communication.
Sandra Ring when a man hits a woman he’s lost the argument and gained an enemy
There is no excuse for violence...end sentence there and it's universal.
Sprinterman110 sometimes you have to defend your family because their likely to be seriously abused if you don’t and You don’t have to like it but you do have to do it
There’s no excuse for women to hit men especially if they have been brought up not to hit women because they might not realise that they have to defend them selves against them it was only when my wife told me that women are not allowed to hit me that I realised how badly I had been abused
BRING TRACY BACK BECAUSE ALL THIS MUSIC IS SHITE NOW
