Intro
2 measures instrumental
Verse
Oh, I don't know why people lie
and I don't know why people die
EVerytime I see you shout at me
cause of all of the things in the world that I can't see
Pre Chorus: (2nd verse, substitute words in parentheses)
And what I think goes on in this world
for a mother and a father and a boy and a girl (kid)
is that the more you earn the less you learn
there's a fact in life where you (we) will burn
Chorus
And I never could believe it
and I never could be true
father, things that mean so much to me
don't mean that much to you
and I never could believe the way
you told me I was wrong
if I'm right and if you are simple sin
for God's sake I was wrong
2 measures instrumental:
Verse
Oh I don't know how I think this way
how you sit there looking at me all day
there's more to you than I can see
there's a shadow of a mother hanging over me

Outro chorus
Oh I tell you out of heaven and I tell you out of hell
and I see your life in ruins, you're just earning that as well
and I cry out in my loneliness, well used to be your peace
but you'll never see my face again, oh I need words like these
