| Verse 1 |
Man can make a rocket
To fly him to the moon
Man can make a transplant
With the heart of a baboon
Make can make a building
That rises up to the sky
Man can make machines
That know if you're trying to lie |
| Chorus |
So tell me why
Why can't man make peace
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
We can't make peace |
| Verse 2 |
Man can make a satellite
That circles around the earth
Man can make a plant grow
In a mound of arid dirt
Man can make a telescope
That sees far past the stars
Man can make a baby grow
In a little test tube jar |
| Chorus |
So tell me why
Why can't man make peace
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
We can't make peace
From the days of the cave
To the days of the nuclear age
In too many ways we're the same
And too little has changed
It's just insane |
| Verse 3 |
Man can make a telephone
To help communicate
Man can make his dinner
In a microwave
Man can turn sunlight
Into solar energy
Man can make a boat
That travels beneath the sea |
| Chorus |
So tell me why
Why can't man make peace
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
We can't make peace
From the days of the cave
To the days of the nuclear age
In too many ways we're the same
And too little has changed
It's just insane |
| Verse 4 |
Man can make computers
With a mind of it's own
Man can make diamonds
Out of black chunks of coal
Man can make medicine
To cure his disease
Man can make most anything
That his mind conceives |
| Chorus |
So tell me why
Why can't man make peace
Tell me why
Tell me why
Tell me why
We can't make peace
We can't make peace
We can't make peace
We can't make peace |
