Why'd We Come (All This Way)

Oingo Boingo


INTRO 
Everyone says we've come such a long, long way 
We're civilized, isn't that nice? 
We've gotten so smart 
We know how to blow the whole world apart 
But when it comes to the simple things 
(Like living together) . . . HA! 

VERSE 
Why'd we have to come all this way 
Is anything any easier to understand 
Why'd we have to come all this way 
Are we any smarter than primitive men 
We still fall in love though we know better 
Anything at all just to stay together 
Stop wasting all my time 

CHORUS 
Why did we come all this way 
Why did we come all this way 
Why did we come all this way 
Why did we come all this way 

VERSE 
Why'd we have to come all this way 
We could have quit while we were way ahead 
Why'd we have to come all this way 
We could have just stayed home instead 
The road was long and the journey was hard 
We never even dreamed that we'd come so far 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE 
It didn't have to end up like this 
It didn't have to end up like this 
It didn't have to end up like this 
It didn't have to end up like this
