Why Why Why

Didn't wake up a prodigy Born to a middle class New York family Thinking 'Why why why? Why's it like that?' You miss your days in California Looping round wishing you were still there Thinking 'Why why why? Why's it like that?' Fighting your given tongue Shaking your fist til it's gone, gone Praying for it all night long Just waiting To listen to your children's cries Listen to your heart, how it sighs! Think you got a ghost in your dance Reminding of the days when you had romance Thinking 'Why why why? Why's it like that?' He's the one that made you choose Talk 'bout a family, a pass to the world thru his shoes Thinking 'Why why why? Why's it like that?' Fighting your given tongue Shaking your fist til it's gone, gone Praying for it all night long Just waiting To listen to your children's cries Listen to your heart, how it sighs!
