Rod Stewart - WHY DOES IT GO ON? lyrics

[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
