Walkin’ down the streets 
You look into a dump 
You look into a dump and you say 
Why why why why why why 

Running down the highway 
As fast as you can 
You throw a tin can and you say 
Why why why why why why 

Tell me why tell me why 
Tell me why do you destroy 
And you try and you try 
To destroy 

I’m knocking on your door 
My knees are on the floor 
I get you on the phone and you say no 
Why why why why why why 

You gotta have a Porsche 
You gotta have a white horse 
You gotta be a California Dream Man 
Why why why why why why 

Tell me why … 

Walkin’ down the streets 
You look into a dump 
You look into a dump and you say 
Why why why why why why 

Medieval warrior riding on his horse 
Slices your head and you say why 
Why why why why why why 

Medieval warrior riding on his horse 
Promised you heaven 
But put you through hell 
Why why why why why why 

Tell me why …
