Why? (2005 remaster) Songtext
von Hoodoo Gurus

I′m drinking mother's ruin
And grooving out to U-F-I
Well, hi
I′m cornered and I'm hoping
For once your mouth can open wide
Oh my, my, my, my

Tell me why (why)
You can't look me in the eye
Tell me why (why)
You always have to lie

What is that strange aroma
That tells me you′re not bona fide?
Oh, why?
It′s always necessary
To get your stories verified
Oh why, why, why, why?


Tell me why (why)
You can't look me in the eye
Tell me why (why)
You always have to lie
Tell me why (why)
′Cause it's pointless to deny
Tell me why
Tell me why

Please tell me why
Please tell me why
Please tell me why
So help me

Your friends are getting fewer
Have you considered suicide?
You might try
Your cookie has to crumble
And you′ll be eating humble pie
In the sky by and by

Tell me why (why)
You always have to lie
Tell me why (why)
You can't look me in the eye
Tell me why (why)
′Cause it's pointless to deny
Tell me why (why)


You don't curl up and die
Tell me why
Tell me why

Tell me why
