Tell Me Why

M.I.A.

You won't gimmie no mo' 
You won't gimmie no mo' 
You won't gimmie no mo' 
You won't gimmie no mo' 
You won't 

Tell me why 
Things change but it feels the same 
If life is such a game 
How come people all act the same 
Tell me why 
Things change but it feels the same 
If life is such a game 
How come people all act the same 

I've been coming up for a while on your radar 
And I know I made it just by counting up my haters 
I got a speedboat get away like later 
You better have a load of cheddar if you don't got data 
Cause you can live it up, pull it up, start reeling 
Start throwing hands up like you're mad at the ceiling 
You could make a killin' but don't forget the feeling 
People stealing money and down with double-dealin 

You won't gimmie no mo' 
You won't gimmie no mo' 
You won't 

Tell me why 
Things change but it feels the same 
If life is such a game 
How come people all act the same 
Tell me why 
Things change but it feels the same 
If life is such a game 
How come people all act the same 

You can take me courthouse 
You can take me jail 
You can take me anywhere 
But you can't get me there 
You can ask me where I'm going and I'll tell you crazy 
But when I get to where I'm going you should come with me 
You've be staying up, pull me up start reeling 
I'm throwing up my hands like I'm mad at the ceiling 

Tell me why 
Things change but it feels the same 
If life is such a game 
How come people all act the same 
Tell me why 
Things change but it feels the same 
If life is such a game 
How come people all act the same 

I got roots for my head 
I got food in my paw 
And the old ways are dead with the now ones we got 
There's water in my paw 
And I'm half in half not 
And the old kind is broke with the new kind we bought 
I drink alcohol 
Know the words to Wonderwall 
I read like a code 
While I do my time on road 

Tell me why 
Things change but it feels the same 
If life is such a game 
How come people all act the same 
Tell me why 
Things change but it feels the same 
If life is such a game 
How come people all act the same 
Tell me why 
Things change but it feels the same 
If life is such a game 
How come people all act the same
