CI've got to know, yes, I've got to know friend
Hungry lips ask me wherever I G7go
Comrades and Cfriends all falling around me
I've got to know, yes, G7I've got to kCnow
CWhy do your boats ride on my waters?
Why do your death bombs fall from my G7skies?
Why do you Cburn my farm and my town down?
I've got to know, friend, G7I've got to knCow
CWhat makes your boats haul death to my people?
Nitro blockG7busters, big cannons and guns
Why doesn't your ship bring fooCd and some clothing?
I've sure got to know, folk, G7I've sure got to Cknow
CWhy can't my two hands get a good pay job?
I can still G7plow, plant, I can still Csow
Why did your law-book chCase me off my good land?
I'd sure like to know, friend, IG7've sure got to know C
CWhat good work did you do, sir, I'd like to ask you
To give you my money right out of my G7hands?
I built your Cbig house here, to hide from my people
Why you crave to hide so, G7I'd love to knCow
CYou keep me in jail and lock me in prison
Your hospital's jammed and your crazy-house G7full
What made your Ccop kill my trade union worker?
You hafta talk plain 'cause G7I sure have to know C
CWhy can't I get work and cash my big paycheck?
Why can't I buy things in your place and your G7store?
Why do you close my pClant down, and starve all my buddies?
I'm asking you, sir, 'cause G7I've sure got to knowC
