How come we suffer 'cos your paranoid ?
How come we fill that gap in your void ?
How come come there's so many starving in the world ?
How come a swollen belly ain't fun for boys and girls ?

How come, how come, yeah how come ?
How come, how come, yeah how come ?
How come, how come, yeah how come ?

How come there's people dying in holy wars ?
How come the rich rub salt into our sores ?
How come you hound us over our little vices ?
How come you need us to get you out of a crisis ?

How come the powers that be close another plant ?
How come eternal school kids are getting a bigger grant ?
How come so many leaders speaking in forked tongues ?
How come the evil prosper ?
How come the good die young ?
