They never asked for anyone to come and save their soul
They never asked their neighbors to help them with their soil
They never pretended to share the same nation
Yet they were bombed without further explanation

She never asked to be followed in the street on her way back home
She never asked anybody to rub against her like a metronome
She never asked her colleagues at work to treat her like a gnome
She never asked for unfairness simply based upon her genome
She never ever thought she’d unleash so much hate
The bruises in her face lead to no more debate

Chorus
If I never ask — Why are you bothering me?
If I never ask — Why don’t you let me be?
If I never ask — Get the hell out of my way
If I never ask – Live your life and stay away

He never asked for a hundred years of white men domination
He never asked for drought and years of starvation
He never ever learned how to swim in cold waters
He drowned while he was crossing together with his daughters

Chorus
If I never ask — Why are you bothering me?
If I never ask — Why don’t you let me be?
If I never ask — Get the hell out of my way
If I never ask – Live your life and stay away
