[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?
