I ask you why? Life isn't fair Why should I pretend to even care? I ask you why? My only plan Is to run away as fast as I can Wake up, it's that time, 18 years late for a life You always fantasize, but only criticize Purpose in disguise What you believe Is never wrong, but never right A future once so bright Shot down for an average life Afraid of what might be Don't care what could have been Went down the wrong road again The path of least resistance Leads you to the suburbs of existence With eyes of gold and hearts of black Living by a clock that can't be turned back The world cries because We've left our future to die With Generation Why? (Why?) Can't I pretend That it will all work out in the end? Not bort to lead, why can't I follow? I'll seize the day tomorrow I get my dose of reality from a talking box I take a pill and my problems are all gone I slam the door when opportunity knocks I ask you Why ask Why?
