Rod Stewart - Why Does It Go On

(Barry mason) [B side of columbia db 7766, 1965] You know it ain't right to beat a man when he's down Know it ain't right to eat when the hunger's around It keeps on worryin' me, as all around I see And still it goes on Why does it go on? Why does it go on? You know it ain't right to take another man's life You know it ain't right to take another man's wife Keeps gettin' through to me, as everywhere I see Why does it go on? Why does it go on? Why does it go on? They don't want love today It's headin' all the way They'll burn your book and pencil boy Throw your mind away A man don't steal, but has to work for his pay (Let me tell you one thing) A poker man deals from the top when he plays But all good things we take We don't build, we just break Why does it go on? Why does it go on? Why does it go on? They don't want love today It's headin' all the way They'll burn your book and pencil boy Throw your mind away A man don't steal, but has to work for his pay (Let me tell you one thing) A poker man deals from the top when he plays But all good things we take We don't build, we just break Why does it go on? Why does it go on? Why does it go on? yeah
