"Ask The Lord"
(Johnny McElhone / Grahame Skinner / Harry Travers)

I ask the Lord and he said 'no'
I say why, Lord

I hear you're happy but it does not show
Where wild things are, I dare not go
I say why, Lord, I say why, Lord
I say why
Gimme strength, gimme patience
Gimme will to survive
Where the wild things are, I dare not go
At first they make you happy, yeah, this I know
But then they make you feel so low
So low, so low, so low, I know

Yeah, black money pays for suffering
I don't need it
I don't need it
I don't need it

I may be happy but it does not show
Where wild things are, I dare not go
I say why, Lord, yeah, I say why, Lord
I say why
I seen the fire and I touched the flame
And given the chance I'd go right back again
Hot summer rain burn me on the wheel
Baptize me with fire

Yeah, black money pays for suffering
I don't need it
I don't need it
Yeah, black money pays for suffering
I don't need it
I don't need it
I don't need it

I say why, Lord, I say why, Lord
I say why, Lord, I say why

Yeah, black money pays for suffering
I don't need it
I don't need it
Yeah, black money pays for suffering
I don't need it
I don't need it

Yeah, black money pays for suffering
I don't need it
I don't need it
Black money pays for suffering
I don't need it
I don't need it
I don't need it
