lyrics

WHY ASK WHY?

What will satisfy the twins seperated at birth never to meet again?
As history lays itself bare
every actuarial turns out to be fair.

All the Joan Benet Ramses merge and form a common bond
over bad mascara, pre-school beauty pageants, lipstick smears
are magnets for the pedofiles
who spend sleepless nights alone and cry
and linger in the shopping ailes
and who need to die.

why ask why? why ask why?

What will split the continents apart and fill the atmosphere back up with ash?
As history repeats and burns desire shame and revenge take turns.

All the Joan Benet Ramses merge and form a common bond
over bad mascara, fake eyelashes and blue ribbon smiles
are magnets for the pedofiles
who spend sleepless nights alone and cry
and linger in the shopping ailes
and who need to die.

The parole board has notified the PTA and the civic center and all the mothers want to make him move away.
'Cause mothers know the cause of all the headshots on school lunch milkboxes. 1-800 and "have you seen this face today?"

Why ask why? Why ask why?

It's funny how we find fear in unknowns
while the most dangerous things are right there in our homes.
Uncles and neighbors and proud fathers too
with chromosomes bent and desires askew.

Over the fields and through the woods.
