Why, oh why, oh why?

Come on and answer me

Why, oh why, oh why?

Somebody answer me why, answer me why

I can tell exactly where the hell you've been

I think I'm from the factory that they made you in

Lately I've been searching for replacement parts

The well-intentioned surgeon says he can't repair my heart

Why won't the engine start?

Answer me why, oh why, oh why?

Come on and answer me why

Would all the world be born to die?

Somebody answer me why, answer me why

I can tell exactly what the hell you've done

Did you run away 'cause you don't want

To pay for the problem you've become?

All the world's a-searching for that greatness in our soul

But we're back today and what we mean

To say is we're taking back control

Why won't they just let go?

Answer me why, oh why, oh why?

Somebody answer me why

Would all the world be born to die?

Somebody answer me why, answer me why

Looking for some better way

It's getting worse, what can I say?

There must be a better way

Somebody answer me why

All the world's a-searching for that place to call our own

Come to find we had it all the time and it chills me to the bone

God, if only we had known

Why, oh why, oh why?

Come on and answer me why

Would all the world be born to die?

Somebody answer me why, oh why, oh why?

Come on and answer me why, oh why, oh why?
