Why Songtext

As we waste away
As the people cry
I can't help thinking
"Why?"

Pouching, polluting
Poisoning for profit
With the rest just livin'
Without knowing how to stop it

Along we just play
While hoping someday
Someone will stand up
And just save the day

It seems we can't stop
No matter what we try
Asking why, why, why
We let the world die

What are we doing?
Living the lies
Of a "perfect world"
With short-sighted eyes

Why don't we change?
Why don't we try?
Ignorance, arrogance
Why, God, why?


I guess it's our nature
We wanna be the best
So we take all we can
Like some kinda pest

We take and we take
And we waste it all
A plague on our Earth
Yet we let it all fall

It seems all we can care about
Is ourselves alone
Too blinded by pride
To see we're killin' our home

Too blind to see what's effing
Right in front of our eyes
A disguise with no ties
And no compromise

As false leaders just sit there
Like some kinda magi's
We wait for the day
When they too realise

Because of our nature
Because of this lie
Because of blind eyes
That's the reason why!


What are we doing?
Living the lies
Of a "perfect world"
With short-sighted eyes

Why don't we change?
Why don't we try?
Pride, prejudice
Why, God, why?


Truly I'm ashamed
To be human
Our nature's causing
Devastation on a broken scale

Riots in the day
Screaming at night
Lighting up the fires
Of a burning veil


What are we doing?
Living the lies
Of a "perfect world"
With short-sighted eyes

There's a reason we're here
A task we'll sure fail
To rule over this Earth
And look over its grail

What are we doing?
Learnt from past delves
Too scared or ashamed
To save us from ourselves

If we don't change
If we don't try
Our children will be left
Asking God "Why?"


Truly I'm ashamed
To be human
Our nature's causing
Devastation on a broken scale

Why don't we change
Or even try?
Time's running out
And we may just fail
