Lyrics
Anybody ever wonder why
you needed so many things
just to stay alive?
Oh no
Anybody ever pass you by
and you were afraid
to look them in the eye?
Oh no
And you want to take them by the hand
But you'll have to take it on the chin
And you'll wonder after all this time
why people don't know how to live
Oh no
Anybody ever tell you why
you needed so many things
just to feel alright?
Oh no
Anybody ever get you high
just so they could twist your arm
to make a buy?
Oh no
And you ought to have them by the balls
But you have to have them in your house
And they'll wonder after all this time
why you don't know how people live
Oh no
Oh no
Anybody ever wonder why
you just stand there blinking
when it's fight or flight?
Oh no
Anybody ever see that all you're doing
is turning darkness into light
Oh no
And you want to take it on the road
But you'll have to take it underground
And you'll wander far and wide
to find if people there know how to live
Or somethin'
Anybody ever wonder why you needed so many things?
Anybody ever tell you why and you were afraid?
Anybody ever wonder why
Anybody ever wonder why
Anybody ever wonder why?
