When you're walking around with people looking at you,
You're gonna figure out someday that they're they're worried about stuff too.
Everybody's the same, Hell, after all we're all human!
But that doesn't mean that there ain't no darkness loomin'!
After all these long years the human race has existed,
We've been too busy about the bigger things. The other stuff's misted!
Why don't the leaders of this free world only care about themselves?
"Hey, this is our little continent! You want one? Get it yourself!"

Why do we even bother with the world? People are only caring about their country and their rights! They don't care about the little things! Starvation and flooding and wars with the bombing can wait some nights!
(Or at least 'til the bigger people actually listen to 'em anyway)

Look, grow up, people! I mean, what's up with this world?
You're too busy with racism and being better than people in the cold!
Why can't we just stop all this war and racism now?
If we all joined together we could prehaps stop all this row!
There's Christians and Muslims and people USA to USZ,
But why can't the government put these words in their head?
Stop the war, stop it all! What are you, showing off???
Iraq, Korea, if you wanted to bomb us then go and shove off!

Why do we even bother with the world? People are only caring about their country and their rights! They don't care about the little things! Starvation and flooding and wars with the bombing can wait some nights!
(Well, it's not like we can let Africans in, is it? No, we have to have our own country!)

If you want my advice, try caring about your public, Tony!
With all your popularity to maintain, people will think you're phony!
Why don't we bother letting all those starving people in?
No, we had to go and say "Nope, sorry. We're not carin'!"
So we just let them starve, they sneak in they get shot.
Or else we throw them into our jail cells, leave them to rot!
Well, I'm sick of it! Why can't we all just get along?
Come on, people, unite! Listen to the words of this song!

Why do we even bother with the world? People are only caring about their country and their rights! They don't care about the little things! Starvation and flooding and wars with the bombing can wait some nights!
(Charity? Heh, yeah, sure. You know what the best charity would be? CARING FOR OTHER PEOPLE!!!)

Well, that's my opinion anyway.

Everyone says,
"We've come such
a long, long way"
We're civilized
Isn't that nice?
We've gotten so smart
We know how to
blow the whole world apart
When it comes to
the simple things
Like living together

HA!

Why'd we have to
come all this way
Is anything easier
to understand
Why'd we have to
come all this way
Are we any smarter
than primitive man
We still fall in love
though we know better
Anything at all
just to stay together
Ho ho ha
stop wasting all my time

Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way

Why'd we have to
come all this way
We could have quit
while we're way ahead
Why'd it have to
end up like this
We should have just
stayed at home instead
The road was wrong
and the journey was hard
We never even dreamed
that we'd come this far
Ho ha ho
stop wasting all my time

Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way

Did it have to end up like this
Did it have to end up like this
Did it have to end up like this
Did it have to end up like this
Did it have to end up like this
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way

Did it have to end up like this
Did it have to end up like this
Did it have to end up like this
Did it have to end up like this
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way
Why did we come all this way

Why'd We Come (All This Way)
