Why You Not
Why You Not is one of the band's heaviest songs. As the band doesn't identify with the lyrics anymore, it's highly unlikely to see it return soon.
It's last performance was at Conne Island in 2011, where the Beatsteaks regularly dig up old and forgotten songs.
[Verse 1]
Fucking religion is a bloody trail
A promise which will fail
It's the way of torture the way of pain
Disease in your brain
They say the church's poor but she's rich
More rich than you know
For money they protect your soul
For a heaven you don't know
[Pre-chorus]
Why you don't think about what you believe in?
Why you do submit youself?
Why you don't think about what you can trust?
Why you undermine yourself?
Why you not
[Chorus]
Destroy
Religion in your head?
There is
A life before death!
Destroy
Religion in your head!
There is
A life before death!
[Verse 2]
Freedom of confidience is only a word
Why it doesn't count for all?
Why they abuse the faith of the people
For ignorance about it all?
War - in the name of religion
Wrong gods - absurd positions
Forbidden - to protect yourself
And AIDS they say is a punishment of God!
