Why Is It? Lyrics

Why is it, you take your greatest pleasure

From pulling people down to their knees?

Why is it, you don't stop to consider

Other people's needs?

You push them and push them

And push them some more

Until they say something

Something you try to ignore

Why is it, you only exist

In a world of your creation?

Why is it, even though we like you

You want defamation?

You lie and you lie

And you're lying some more

You're lying so much

You've forgot' what you do it for

You fight and you fight

And you're fighting some more

You're fighting with life

For the fiction you're searching for

Why is it, you do what you do?

Why is it, that you try so hard not to

Do the things that would bring you respect from the world?

Do things like the other boys and girls?

You push them and push them

And push them some more

You lie and you lie

And you're lying some more

You fight and you fight

And you're fighting some more

You're doing it all

And I just cannot take any more
