Lyrics

Intro  
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
