[Verse 1]
Why ask?
Why not it goes with this night
So, will it ever stop?
Will it always be this hard?
There will always be a jar of ash
There will always be an unfit mind
There will always be a lonely son
There will always be a humiliated little girl

[Chorus]
Why ask?
Is there any reason?
Why ask?
If it'll just let up?
Why ask?
Is there any reason?
Why ask?
If it'll just let up?
Up, up, up, up

[Verse 2]
There will always be a headless neck
There will always be happiness
There will always be a handless wrist to crush
There will always be a hopeful heart to disrespect
[Chorus]
Why ask?
Is there any reason?
Why ask?
If it'll just let up?
Why ask?
Is there any reason?
Why ask?
If it'll just let up?
Up, up, up, up
