Why

Everybody's gotta learn to lose
Well, I'm the one
I've got to explain this heart of mine
Everybody's gotta learn to bleed
I see the light
It seems like a shame
Well listen, people, sing:

[Chorus]
Why... (why, got to do... yeah) and I...
(Why, it doesn't mean that much to you, sing, yeah.)
Sing: why... (why... go to choose, yeah.)
And I, (why, don't want to lose, no,)
But I can't stop me from feelin' strange

Everybody's gotta learn to change
Well, I'm the one
There's pleasure in pain
(What you feel when love is at your door.)
When love's around
Everybody's gotta learn to breathe
I see the light
Well, it seems like a shame
(Doesn't it seem like such a damn...)
Well listen, people, sing:

[Chorus]
It's not how you play; it's if you win the game
I don't care who you were; look at what you became
It's a woman in prison on the fourth o' July
Sings the music of fear in a lullaby

[Chorus]
