Why Don't We - Wishbone Ash

Why don’t we get some answers

Stop messin' around with our lives?

We hear the same old story, where’s the glory?

It’s our lives, it’s our lives!

Changes are vital, do we care?

It’s taken far too long — maybe we’re there?

Start walkin' with our time, if you dare

There is a rightness, yes, everywhere

Why don’t we, why don’t we

Open our eyes?

Why don’t we, why don’t we

Change our minds?

Honest and sweet surrender —

Never wanted this illusion

In our lives

Trials and tribulations

Familiar conversations

In our lives, in our lives

Competing against everyone

A trap, that, and a snare

Return to nature, no solution, so beware!

How can it be this way?

Shouldn’t be so

Surviving day after day

Unwilling to let go

Why don’t we, why don’t we

Share this time?

Why don’t we, why don’t we

Open our eyes?

Livin' with a global village

Aware of the unexpected

In our lives

Transforming greed and pillage

Not to be rejected —

It’s our lives, it’s our lives!

Changes are vital, do we care?

It’s taken far too long — maybe we’re there?

Stop workin' with our time, if you dare

There is a rightness, yes, everywhere

Why don’t we, why don’t we

Open our eyes?

Why don’t we, why don’t we

Share this time?

Why don’t we, why don’t we

Change their minds?

Why don’t we, why don’t we

Share our lives?
