Ask Yourself Why

When you're just out walking and you pass 
Little signs that say keep off the grass 
Did you ever stop and ask yourself why? 
Pretty playgrounds children used to know 
Little squares where lovers love to go 
Disappear so parking lots can grow 
Why? 
Once you start the questions never cease 
What's disturbed when you disturb the peace 
Pets and children are prohibited 
Why? Ask yourself why? 
And when you think about it 
Bullets fly like popcorn on the screen 
Recommended wholesome nice and clean 
Making love's the thing that can't be seen 
Why? 
Let your hair down just an inch or two 
Let your skin be red or green or blue 
They invent a special name for you 
Why? 
On a clear day oh say can you see 
What remains of mountain's scenery 
Catch a glimpse of all the scenery sky 
Beautiful sky ..as shiny as a penny 
So when you're out walking and you pass 
Near a sign that say keep off the grass 
Put a sign right next to it that says why?
