Why do the good ones get buried while the liars climb the hill
Why do the mothers go hungry while the borders never steal
Why do the headlines paint angels on men who ain't ever done right
And if truth is still a virtue, why do they hide it from sight
Somebody tell me why, why does it feel like we're under attack
Why does the news read like fiction while the facts get stabbed in the back
I'm just a voice in the shadows, but I see what they try to deny
Don't sell me silence or slogans, just look me in the eyes and tell me why
Why are the streets full of shouting, but no one will speak up for peace
Why does a senator whisper while our cities burn piece by piece
Why did a governor praise him when he's walking en masse with a gun
And when the cameras start rolling, why is the truth the one on the run
Somebody tell me why, why does it feel like they're playing us all
Why does the justice we needed keep dying inside of their halls
They label us radicals, traitors, while they dance in their suits and their ties
I'm not buying the spin anymore
Somebody, somebody tell me why
Is it so wrong to want answers
Is it a crime to believe that maybe a vote should still matter
And a man shouldn't need to deceive
Somebody tell me why
Why does it hurt just to care anymore
Why does the land of the free feel like it's losing its core
I'm just one soul in the stillness, but I swear on the 4th of July
I'll sing till the heavens are listening
And somebody finally tells me why
