Why Why Why

Where's all the colour gone

And why do the songs sound sad

Where did it all go wrong

When did the good turn bad

What ever happened to sunsets

Sunrise and the pretty skies

Why can't I see the world

Through somebody else's eyes

We're all sitting here broke-

Down afraid that the world will change

But we'd hate it if I didn't

And they'd say

Buddy you're just a little different

Cos we're forcing smiles

And we're making jokes

On the inside,

We all start to choke (and I said)

Let's put some colour in the world

And make the songs sound happy

Do it for the boys and all the girls

The people staring at me

So why why why do we watch the leaves turn brown

Instead sitting underneath them while the green is still around

And why why why is it easier to cry

Than smile about the stories that we told when you and I went

Down to the seaside, watched the sunset from the dunes

Forget about the silly things we're hearing in the news

So why why why do we watch the leaves turn brown

Instead sitting underneath them while the green is still around

And why why why is it easier to cry

Than smile about the stories that we told when you and I went

Down to the seaside, watched the sunset from the dunes

Forget about the silly stuff we're hearing in the news

So we throw out the hate and make some love It's time to overcome it

All of the people we don't know they start to talk so loud it's

Deafening silence but it's time that we start to be proud it's

Time to sit under the leaves and just forget about it.

So why why why do we watch the leaves turn brown

Instead sitting underneath them while the green is still around

And why why why is it easier to cry

Than smile about the stories that we told when you and I went

Down to the seaside, watched the sunset from the dunes

Forget about the silly things we're hearing in the news
