People Asking Why Lyrics
Why do people, get complacent with the things they're told?
World disasters they come and go.
I'd give anything just to be back home.
'Cause there are people, asking why.
There are people, who believe in... (L)
But I've made my plans already.
Had this trouble with it all my life.
Well world disasters, they come and go.
I'd give all my strength to be back home
'Cause there are people, asking why (L)
There are people asking... (L)
How will I paint this garden I've destroyed, green?
Can I get back to where I've come from?
'Cause there are people, who believe in life. (L)
Peace and love ain't enough these days.
Evolution says "Time is running out,
We've been here too long..."
...ayea............ ..no-hoo.........
..ayea................
How will I paint this garden I've destroyed, green?
Can I get back to where I come from?
'Cause there are people, who believe it. (L)
How do I paint this garden I've destroyed, green?
Can I get back to where I've come from?
Cuz there are people, who believe it (L)
How will I paint this garden I've destroyed, green?
Can I get back to where I've come from? (L)
'Cause there are people, who believe it (L)
How do I get back to where I've come from, now?
This song speaks to a little more than a broken relationship!
The song is about how earth is F'd up and what can he do?
This has always invoked an image of a relationship where something bad has happened. The speaker's real question is can he get the relationship back to the precatastrophic state. The comment "world disasters, they come and go" shows the speaker's (perhaps) skewed perspective of the problem compared to the rest of life.
"'Cause there are people, who believe in life." gives the whole song a positive feel....
This was written from the perspective of a man who's gone through many changes throughout the course of his life. The man he used to be is not the man that he is; experience distinguishes the two (the man he used to be from the man he is today). He's changed and home isn't the same place that it was yesterday. So how does he get back to that place, to the forgotten memories of the past? If home is where the heart is, then is that place, today, the same it was yesterday? Things change and neither man, his feeling, nor his assessment of home is an exception to that rule. What this perspective offers is a twist to the adage that is to "forget where you come from."
In this song the perspective admits that he has (forgotten where he's come from). And to the people asking why he's changed, to the people who believe in life's consistency, he has no legitimate answer other than "I've changed." And so he asks himself, "why?" The song is this man's introspection, here we see in his thoughts a guilty sense of responsibility brought on by his inability to be who he was. They've say, "you've changed," that "you're different." They want to know "why?" How could you have not.

I believe this song is asking How did we arrive to such as sorry state of affairs and how do we get back to that place where we could do things differently to avoid arriving HERE!
