It's tragic but it seems
We're only happy when in dreams
So much pain, so many tears
Empty lives a thousand years

Nothing's fair and nothing's clear
Nothing's real except your fear
Why do we stay? Why do we stay?
Why do we stay here anyway?

Why do we stay here anyway?

No, there ain't no hope my dear
Deliverance is nowhere near
Some believe it and some don't
Some will lose it and some won't

Nothing's fair and nothing's clear
Nothing's real except your fear
All the love has gone away
So why do we stay here anyway?

Why do we stay here anyway?

Always looking for the light
For a higher state of mind
To guide us through the dark of life
To find out we won't survive

Nothing's fair and nothing's clear
Nothing's real except your fear
When there's nothing left to say -
Why do we stay here anyway?

Why do we stay here anyway?
