Why Shouldn't I Songtext
von Bob Marley

Why should I bend down my head and cry?
(Head down and cry)
Said I mean, why should I bend down my head and cry?
(Head down and cry)

The old world has ended (who′s got the whole world now)
The new world has just begun
And all them people that live therein (still in the new world now)
Shall live on and on
One more thing

Got to get what I need
Got to get what I want
Got to get what I need
Got to get what I want

Got to get satisfaction
Got to get the action
Got love and affection
One more thing


Once there was two roads before us (who's got the whole world now)
To accept our choice
But good has overcome bad
The sheep has heard their master′s voice
So tell me why

Why should I bend down my head and cry?
(Head down and cry)
No reason why
Why should I bend down my head and cry? (No reason why)
Got to move, got to groove (head down and cry)

Got to get what I want (what did you say?)
Got to get it
Got to get what I need
Got to get what I want (what I say)
Got to get it
Got to get what I need (satisfaction)

The old world has ended (who's got the whole world now)
The new world has just begun
And all them people that live therein (still in the new world now)
Shall live on and on
One more thing


Why should I bend down my head and cry?
No reason why, my father is a king
Why should I bend down my head and cry?
'Caise that′s all the riches in the earth
So tell me why
Why should I bend down my head and cry?

(Head down and cry)
Why should I bend down my head and cry?
(Head down and cry)
Why should I bend down my head and cry?
(Head down and cry)

Why should I bend down my head and cry?
(Head down and cry)
Why should I bend down my head and cry?
(Head down and cry)
Why should I bend down my head and cry?
(Head down and cry)
