Don’t Know Why

[Verse 1]
When I was young I read some books about the galaxy
I read chapter upon chapter of sci-fi and fantasy
But way back then we didn’t know what we all do know now
How other life was not a threat but humans are all cowards
I don’t remember how it happened, but I remember light
The sounds of mass explosions and the smell of burning fires
I remember screaming, I remember holding you
I remember thanking Planet Earth and all we put her through

[Refrain]
And I don’t know why, no I don’t know why

[Verse 2]
Now down below is ruined cuz we couldn’t make amends
'Cause we’re selfish and we’re stupid and we didn’t think ahead
And now we’re trying to re-create what we all had before
Everyone’s pretending but I know their hearts are sore
Everything is regimented, everything’s on time
Everyone is really busy with their new jobs and new lives
Whoever is in charge is doing a fantastic job
Of keeping us complacent, some have already forgot

[Refrain]
And I don’t know why, no I don’t know why
And I don’t know why, no I don’t know why

[Bridge]
Sorry friends I’m making a mess again
Kick up dust I’m making a mess again
You told me not to make a mess again
There I go making a mess again
Everywhere I go
Everyone I see
No one seems to know
What’s really happening

[Refrain]
And I don’t know why, no I don’t know why
And I don’t know why, no I don’t know why
