Part three features an original song called:

Tell me Why (Hayes / Lopes)

Youth Gone Wild by: Skid Row


Tell Me Why:

All for one
And one for all
All has changed
No one heeds the call

All the hopes and dreams we had
The world before us turning mad
And what are we supposed to do

You promised us a world of gold
But what do we have left to show
as you hide behind your smile

Hey Politician
Tell me what your gonna do
The world's calling out
But we can't seem to get through

Video generation
Sees it all in black and white
Mixed-up little yuppies
Always ready for a fight

Hey Hey
Where do we go
Where do we turn
Where must we run

Tell Me Why
It's been so long
Tell Me Why
I write this song
Tell Me Why
My point of view
Tell Me Why
Means nothing to you

Hey Mr. Taxman
How much must I pay
To see the future
Or tomorrow's light of day

You're Cain we're Abel
A brother stabbed in the back
Tell me why we pay
For another whore in the sack

Hey Hey
Where do we go
Where do we turn
Where must we run

Tell Me Why
It's been so long
Tell Me Why
I write this song
Tell Me Why
My point of view
Tell Me Why
Means nothing to you

You can no longer run the show
You play your part now it's time to go
Four years of power you had your chance
You fueled the fire and did your dance

Hey Politician
Tell me what your gonna do
The world's calling out
But we can't seem to get through

Tell Me Why
It's been so long
Tell Me Why
I write this song
Tell Me Why
My point of view
Tell Me Why
Means nothing to you
