The kid is good
He's not like all the others
He's misunderstood
And so we're all his brothers
Now he stands in the rain again

The kid is fine
But he's jealous of his own friends
Divine, but he's got no money to spend
But, he can take the pain

I'm just a lonely kid
Standing here on the porch
I got nothing to lose
I got nothing to search for

I said why? Why?
Why does it have to be like this
I said why? Why?
Why does it have to be this way?

It's our ten year anniversary
What happened to raw deal
What happened to Jerry James
And I know, didn't come back all this way to be myself
After all, what are friends for

I said why? Why?
Why does it have to be like this
I said why? Why?
Why does it have to be this way?

Make me suffer
Make me pain
You don't know what I would do to see you once again
Build my life
Wreck it in
Pull it by the rim real hard
And toss it all around

Why? Why?
Why does it have to be like this
I said why? Why?
Why does it have to be this way?

I said why? Why?
Why does it have to be like this
I said why? Why?
Why does it have to be this way?

Why does it have to be this way?
