| When I was young I was taught to throw sticks and stones
|
| Because sticks and stones they could break your bones
|
| The only way to get ahead that made any kind of sense
|
| Was to enrich myself at other people’s expense
|
| I could walk over corpses to make myself a name
|
| I would cheat and I could lie without showing no shame
|
| People tried to stop me but they didn’t understand
|
| I wasn’t looking for affection or a helping hand
|
| To bad you never really understood the way of time
|
| I never looked into my mind
|
| I always meant to be the element of your crime
|
| And don’t ask me why
|
| Why doesn’t anybody listen
|
| Why doesn’t anybody hear
|
| Why doesn’t anybody see me
|
| Why don’t you interfere
|
| Don’t ask me why
|
| I never told the truth cos I believed all my lies
|
| I believed that if I made my own alibis
|
| I would find a good reason and a better excuse
|
| So I could justify my hate and my self abuse
|
| I would satisfy myself in any way I could
|
| Because I knew that I would always be misunderstood
|
| I did a lot of mean things that are hard to forgive
|
| But all I ever wanted was a life to live
|
| To bad you never really understood the way of time
|
| I never looked into my mind
|
| I got to get yourself back to the sky
|
| Don’t ask me why
|
| Why doesn’t anybody listen
|
| Why doesn’t anybody hear
|
| Why doesn’t anybody see me
|
| Why don’t you interfere
|
| Why doesn’t anybody listen
|
| Why doesn’t anybody hear
|
| Why doesn’t anybody see me
|
| Why don’t you interfere
|
| I just can’t disguise your heat
|
| Never need to know your beat
|
| Don’t ask me why
|
| Looking back at my life there’s a lot I regret
|
| I made a lot of mistakes that I can never forget
|
| But I didn’t know better I was insecure
|
| I guess I never took care of my problems before
|
| I feel bad about the people that I pushed around
|
| I feel bad about the people that I let down
|
| I put the blame on myself I can’t look the other way
|
| Living with my guilt is the price I have to pay
|
| Why doesn’t anybody listen
|
| Why doesn’t anybody hear
|
| Why doesn’t anybody see me
|
| Why don’t you interfere
|
| Why doesn’t anybody listen
|
| Why doesn’t anybody hear
|
| Why doesn’t anybody see me
|
| Why don’t you interfere
|
| Don’t ask me why
|
| Don’t ask me why |
