 Why  do the men stray,  why do the woman  pray
 Why  do the men fight,  why do the women  sympatize
 Woah,  it was easier  before  I loved
 Before  this heart  was turned to stone
 Before  this blood  was stirred and blood  was spilled
 No  one was ever  meant to be  alone
Why  do the birds sing,  what do they call  that thing
 Why  do the bombs boom,  we're running out of  living room
All  needs is getting  needier and needier
 More  lies are told until  they're truth
 Until  the messages  are massacred
 Old  men get all their  killing done with youth
Why  do the men stray,  why do the women  pray
Why  do the men fight,  why do the woman  sympatize
All  these wooden houses,  light themselves on  fire in turn
 Oh,  but someday it  will be nothing  left to burn
 Oh,  someday there will be  nothing left  to burn
Oh,  oh,  oh,  oh  oh,  oh, oh,  oh
Someday,  someday,  someday, someday
