lyrics

DON’T ASK WHY
(Chas. Duncan)


There’s a lesson in the weather
and a message in the wind
Yeah, and you’ll get the tar and feathers
you mention either one again

You got to keep the wheels turning
“laissez le bon temps rouler”
Yeah, and the fossil fuels a-burning
to light us on our way


A fool and his money,
they very soon will part
You’re gonna fall on your ass man,
if you follow your heart

You’re catchin’ flies with honey:
why would you even try?
Just grab what you can, man
-- don’t ask why


Yeah, it’s too late to stop the water
from rising up above the land
and anyway, why would you bother
until the profit’s in your hand?

And if there’s nowhere else to go now,
go on and keep your trap shut
Yeah, and if we’re reaping what we sow now,
so what?

CHORUS

And high up on old Golgotha
about the break of day,
there once hung a condemned man
who began to pray

And from his heavenly Father
came only this reply:
“Just stick with the plan, man
-- don’t ask why.”

CHORUS
