[Intro]

Why, oh why, oh why?

Come on and answer me

Why, oh why, oh why?

Somebody answer me, why?

Answer me, why?

[Verse 1]

I can tell exactly where the hell you been

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

Lately, I've been searching for replacement parts

The well in general surgeon says he can't repair my heart

Why won't the engine start?

[Chorus]

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?

(Oh, why?)

[Verse 2]

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 worlds of searching

For that greatness in our soul

Well, we're back today and what we mean to say

Is we're taking back control

Why won't they just let go?

[Chorus]

Answer me, why, oh why, oh why?

Somebody answer me, why?

Why would all the world be born to die?

Somebody answer me, why?

Answer me, why?

(Oh, why?)

[Refrain]

What came first? (Why?)

The bird or egg? (Why?)

It's getting worse (Why?)

What can I say?

There must be a better way

Somebody answer me, why?

[Verse 3]

All the worlds are searching for that place to call our own

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

But 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? (Yeah)

Come on and answer me, why?

Oh why, oh why?
