Why'd We Come - Oingo Boingo

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!

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

Why’d we come all this way?

Why’d we have to come all this way?

We could have quit while we were way ahead

Why’d we have to end up like this?

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

Stop wasting all my time

Why’d we come all this way?

It didn’t have to end up like this
