Why The Hell Not Lyrics

He's a private first class U.S. Marine
Last November he turned 19
Got a wife and a son that'll be here soon
but he just shipped out on the 4th of June
He's old enough to vote old enough to die
but he can�t buy beer on a Saturday night

Why why the hell not he�s a man on a mission
giving all he�s got putting his life on the
line must not mean a lot why the hell not

Behind the school at a football game there�s
a bad dude pushing that crack cocaine a twelve
year old called the cops so they put him in
cuffs in the parking lot but his rich old man paid
a crooked judge got a slap on the wrist didn�t
get locked up

why why the hell not you turn him loose
he�s never gonna stop yeah time for the crime
these days must not mean a lot why the hell not

you see it every night on the 6 o'clock news
another bad nightmare just came true from town
to town it�s all the same they say one man
can�t make a change

why why the hell not if we all stand up we
can�t be stopped it�s up to me and you and I
say it�s worth a shot

why why the hell not if we all stand up we
can�t be stopped it�s up to me and you and I
say it�s worth a shot why the hell not,
why the hell not
