#46: "Why's It So Hard"
(Erotica, 1992, Madonna/Shep Pettibone)

Låten Why's It So Hard har jag av någon anledning (kanske rytmen) alltid sett som uppföljaren till Keep It Together. Hursomhelst tycker jag det är en väldigt fin låt med bra text som föll - precis som de flesta andra låtarna på albumet - i skuggan av Sex-boken (hur rolig som helst, om man läser den medan man ser på bilderna) som kom i samma veva.
Mest gillar jag texten - framförallt sticket med raderna; "Bring your love, sing your love, wear your love, share your love"


Why's it so hard to love one another 
Why's it so hard to love

What do I have to do to
be accepted 
What do I have to say 
What do I have to do to
be respected 
How do I have to play 
What do I have to look like
to feel I'm equal 
Where do I have to go 
What club do I have to join
to prove I'm worthy 
Who do I have to know  

I'm telling you brothers, sisters 
Why can't we learn to challenge the system
Without living in pain 
Brothers, sisters 
Why can't we learn to accept
that we're different
Before it's too late 
(Why's it so damn hard)  

What do I have to learn to know
what's right for me
What do I have to know 
What am I going to do when
I feel righteous 
Where do I have to go 
Who should get to say what
I believe in 
Who should have the right 
What am I going to do
with all this anger 
Why do I have to fight

I'm telling you brothers, sisters 
Why can't we learn to
challenge the system 
Without living in pain Brothers, sisters 
Why can't we learn to accept that we're different
Before it's too late
(Why's it so damn hard)  

Bring your love, sing your love, wear your love, share your love
