lyrics

I wanna know why, why, why that night

The sixties were over, malaise swept the nation
I was looking for fun but got alienation
My boss Ron said, "We got work to do"
"We're going to Forest Hills because I booked The Who"

I wanna know why, why, why that night
They were spilling blood
I wanna know why, why, why that night
They were spilling blood at the rock and roll show

Then Ron said, "Boys you all come on the double”
“There's violence in the air and there's gonna be trouble”
One of our crew got stabbed and there was a fight
His life bled away in the dirt and that wasn't right

I wanna know why, why, why that night
They were spilling blood
I wanna know why, why, why that night
They were spilling blood at the rock and roll show

And there was violence and there were colored lights
As the music echoed dead into the night

Love was out of reach as the stage was tall
I realized I didn’t like arena rock after all
And high on the stage like they didn't know a thing
The Who went through the motions to play and sing

I wanna know why, why, why that night
They were spilling blood at the rock and roll show
I wanna know why, why, why that night
They were spilling blood at the rock and roll show
Why, why, why that night
They were spilling blood at the rock and roll show
I wanna know why, why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why, why
I wanna know why

They’re one of the final remaining original CBGB bands, they’ve played on Andy Warhol’s short-lived MTV show while Sir Ian McKellen read Shakespeare over their jamming, and were the last band to publicly perform at the World Trade Center’s Windows on the World. ... more
