And You Wonder Why

Suffocating in this world of hate and greed
Wondering where it is that I can plant my feet
Harboring feelings of rage and jealousy
Oh, whatever became of the real me

For as long as I know I've been kicked around
And each time I got up I was shoved back down
Had to cover my bruises when I went to school
So what nobody knew was what I went through

And you wonder why I cannot love another
And you wonder why I can't stay connected
There's a world out there that I've never tasted
And you wonder why I am pissed and jaded

I could kiss the lips of the fruit forbidden
Dance in step with a friendly Lucifer
Take the dare that is sure to despair
My soul is bare and you wonder why I don't care
