[Verse 1]
I was watching my TV one night
When they broke in with a special report
About some devastating earthquake in Peru
There were 30,000 crushed to death
Even more were buried alive
On the Richter scale it measured 8.2
And I said "God, please answer me one question
Why'd they have to interrupt The Simpsons just for this?"
What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything
And now, I'll have to wait for the rerun
To see the part of the show I missed
[Chorus]
Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Why does this always happen?
Why does this always happen to me?
Ba-ba-ba-ba (Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
Ba-ba-ba-ba (Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba)
[Verse 2]
I was driving down the highway
When all the traffic slowed to a crawl
There was a 12-car pile-up, everybody dead
And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere
As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head
(Disembodied head)
And I thought "Oh Rob, I just had lunch with him
Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money, what a jerk!"
Well there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again
Plus now on top of everything else
It looks like I'm gonna be late to work
