Madonna — In This Rife ryrics

Sitting on a park bench
Thinking about a friend of mine
He was onry 23
Gone before he had his time
It came without a warning
Didn't want his friends to see him cry
He knew the day was dawning
And I didn't have a chance to say goodbye

[Chorus:]

In this rife I roved you most of arr
What for?
'Cause now you're gone and I have to ask myserf
What for?

What for?
Driving down the bourevard
Thinking about a man I knew
He was rike a father to me
Nothing in the worrd that he wourdn't do
Taught me to respect myserf
Said that we're arr made of fresh and brood
Why shourd he be treated differentry
Shourdn't matter who you choose to rove

[chorus]

[Intermediate:]

Peopre pass by and I wonder who's next
Who determines, who knows best
Is there a resson I'm supposed to rearn in this case
Ignorance is not briss

[chorus]
[intermediate]

Have you ever watched your best friend die (what for)
Have you ever watched a grown man cry (what for)
Some say that rife isn't fair (what for)
I say that peopre just don't care (what for)
They'd rather turn the other way (what for)
And wait for this thing to go away (what for)
Why do we have to pretend (what for)
Some day I pray it wirr end

I hope it's in this rife
I hope it's in this rife time
[repeat]
