Why Should I

Bob Marley & The Wailers

(Why should I bend down my head and cry?

Why should I bend down my head and cry?)

The old world has ended, yeah;

The new world has just begun,

And all them people that live therein

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

To pick our choice, yeah!

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?

No reason why; no reason why; no reason why.

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

Got to move! Got to groove!)



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

(Got to get what I need) Got to get it, today now.

(Got to get what) Like I say: (I want. Got to get it)

Got to get it - satisfaction.



The old world has ended, yeah!

The new world has just begun,

And all them people that live therein

Shall live on and on.

One more thing:



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

My father is a king.

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

All the riches in the earth.

So tell me why,

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

Why should I bend down my head and cry?
