[B side of Columbia Db 7766 1965]. You know it ain't right to beat a man when he's down. Know it ain't right to eat when the hunger's around. It keeps on worryin' me as all around I see. And still it goes on. Why does it go on ?. Why does it go on ?. You know it ain't right to take another man's life. You know it ain't right to take another man's wife. Keeps gettin' through to me as everywhere I see. Why does it go on ?. Why does it go on ?. Why does it go on ?. They don't want love today. It's headin' all the way. They'll burn your book and pencil boy. Throw your mind away. A man don't steal but has to work for his pay. (let me tell you one thing). A poker man deals from the top when he plays. But all good things we take. We don't build we just break. Why does it go on ?. Why does it go on ?. Why does it go on ?. They don't want love today. It's headin' all the way.
