Why, every time I reach for the sky I can only reach so high, why 
why, every time I head-but a brick wall I always crack my skull, why 
why, every time I stab somebody, I always get my clothes bloody, why 
why, every time I drive down the wrong side of the street, everybody wanna beep, why 
why, every time I'm broke and I sell rock I wind up in a cell block, why 
why, every time I shoot somebody in the face, pigs give chase, why 
why, every time I drink a little gasoline, I shit my spleen, why 
why, when I try to fly like a birdy, I wind up on a gurney, why 

R: Won't you tell me why 
   someone tell me why 
   Jesus tell me why
   I must find out why

Why, every time I swallow a fat head nail, my neck feels stale, why 
Why, every time I contact dark spirits, they wanna break my mirrors, why 
Why, every time I choke a friends neck, he don't come back, why 
Why, every time I stab my eyes with an ice pick, I cant see shit, why 
Why, every time I play chicken with a train, it wins the game, why 
Why, every time I wake the dead up, the try to eat my head up, why 
Why, every time I see my reflection, I see no direction, why
Why, every time I order a taco, you want a bite muthafucko, tell me why 

R: (2x)

Why, every time I raise my arms in celebration, playahation, why 
Why, just cause I'm dead decayed and past, you give me no ass, why 
Why, every time I chew on thumb tacks, I get blood on my snacks, why 
Why, every time I kick faygos in the sky, you wanna know why, why 
Why, every time an angel wanna kiss me, it always seems to miss me, why 
Why, why does Shangri-La seem so far away, you better leave to day, why
