lyrics

You thrash and fight but don’t know why
You bought yourself a gilded lie
But this is not a lullaby
Just a postmodern hue and cry
And now you wanna know why
And now you wanna know why

Your sacred cow is full of flies
Your leather vest is just rawhide
The sturm und drang of modern life
Is everything that you despise
And now you wanna know why
And now you wanna know why

Hey there sunbeam why do you look so down?
The whole world is at your feet
And still you curse your crown
To strike out on your own
Was the badge you wore with pride
But now you don’t know where you want to go

You curse and stomp but don’t know why
You bought yourself a gilded lie
The postmodern hue and cry
Is everything that you despise
And now you wanna know why
And now you wanna know why

But this time there’s no alibi
Your custom suit has been tie-dyed
The sturm und drang of modern life
Cuts you down and makes you cry
And now you wanna know why
And now you wanna know why

Hey there sunflower why do you look so down?
The whole world is at your feet
And still you curse the dawn
Leaving home was all you’d need
To live the life you want
But now you don’t know where to point your toes
