Why?

It’s a splinter in your mind

You’re a sinner confined

To thinking you’re a winner designed

By a figure divine

You wanted a guide

And to go to heaven when you die

So you never whine

And you give up your time

And listen to the church bells chime

And you wait in line

To drink the wine

And when the can arrives

You toss in a dime

To worship the shrine

Above the poverty line

Is that a sign

That you have redefined

What it means to live a lie?

Has it ever crossed your mind

That maybe you’re the bad guy?

That you’re the devil inside

And that it’s all been a lie

And there ain’t a guy in the sky

That’s always nearby

There to supply

You with your bowtie

And rules to abide by?

If you got a reply

Let it fly

I just want to remind

That disagreeing is fine

But ignoring is a crime

So free your mind

Open your third eye

You’re no longer in junior high

What do you stand by?

And for what are you willing to die?

I don’t mean to pry

I just want to apply

A question to live by

Why?
