Lyrics

It's more than 2000 years
Since I come here
And all I can say is
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Puru-puru-puru)
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Puru-puru-puru)
Yeah
Puru-puru-puru
Hear dem say
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Puru-puru-puru)
Using my brothers and my sisters
I wonder why
They're using my brothers and my sisters
I wonder why
Hear dem say
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Puru-puru-puru)
Hear dem
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Puru-puru-puru)
Give us a helping hand, Jah-Jah
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Puru-puru-puru)
Don't feel so sad, so son, feel like say hello
But if I should
They woulda beat I down
All I can say is
"Puru-puru-puru"
All I can say
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Puru-puru-puru)
Jah-Jah!
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Puru-puru-puru)
Give us a helping hand
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why?
Why? Oh, why? Oh, why? (Puru-puru-puru)
