Why’d We Come Oingo Boingo

Everyone says we've come such a long, long way
We're civilized; isn't that nice?
We've gotten so smart
We know how to blow the whole world apart
But when it comes to the simple things
Like living together...?
Ha!

Why'd we have to come all this way?
Is anything any easier to understand?
Why'd we have to come all this way?
Are we any smarter than primitive man?

We still fall in love, though we know better
Anything at all just to stay together
Stop wasting all my time

Why did we come all this way?
Why did we come all this way?
Why did we come all this way?
Why did we come all this way?

Why'd we have to come all this way?
We could have quit while we were way ahead
Why'd it have to end up like this?
We could have just stayed home instead
