Oingo Boingo - Why'd We Come (all This Way) lyrics

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
