Why Don’t We? Songtext
von Wishbone Ash

Why don′t we get some answers
Stop messin' around with our lives
We hear the same old story, where′s the glory?
It's our lives, our lives

Changes are vital, do we care?
It's taken far too long, maybe we′re there?
Start walkin′ with our time, if you dare
There is a rightness, and yes, everywhere

Why don't we, why don′t we
Open our eyes?
Why don't we, why don′t we
Change our minds?

Honest and sweet surrender
Never wanted this illusion
In our lives

Trials and tribulations
Familiar conversations
In our lives, in our lives


Competing against everyone
A trap that will ensnare
Return to nature, no solution, so beware!

How can it be this way?
Shouldn't be so
Surviving day after day
Unwilling to let go

Why don′t we, why don't we
Share this time?
Why don't we, why don′t we
Open our eyes?

Livin′ with a global village
Aware of the unexpected
In our lives

Transforming greed and pillage
Not to be rejected
It's our lives, it′s our lives!

Changes are vital, do we care?
It's taken far too long, maybe we′re there?
Stop workin' with our time, if you dare
There is a rightness, and yes, everywhere


Why don′t we, why don't we
Open our eyes?
Why don't we, why don′t we
Share this time?

Why don′t we, why don't we
Change their minds?
Why don′t we, why don't we
Share our lives?
