Don’t Know Why - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

When I was young I read some books about the galaxy

I read chapter upon chapter of sci-fi and fantasy

But way back then we didn’t know what we all do know now

How other life was not a threat but humans are all cowards

I don’t remember how it happened, but I remember light

The sounds of mass explosions and the smell of burning fires

I remember screaming, I remember holding you

I remember thanking Planet Earth and all we put her through

And I don’t know why, no I don’t know why

Now down below is ruined cuz we couldn’t make amends

'Cause we’re selfish and we’re stupid and we didn’t think ahead

And now we’re trying to re-create what we all had before

Everyone’s pretending but I know their hearts are sore

Everything is regimented, everything’s on time

Everyone is really busy with their new jobs and new lives

Whoever is in charge is doing a fantastic job

Of keeping us complacent, some have already forgot

And I don’t know why, no I don’t know why

Sorry friends I’m making a mess again

Kick up dust I’m making a mess again

You told me not to make a mess again

There I go making a mess again

Everywhere I go

Everyone I see

No one seems to know

What’s really happening

And I don’t know why, no I don’t know why
