[Verse 1] Why do the wicked get to win While the righteous rot from within Evil grows like weeds unchecked Goodness left broken, bruised, and wrecked Pain on every corner, every street Cold hearts marching to their own beat They point at God for their own mess Blame the sky for their own address [Pre-Chorus] Love's out on the vine, left to die Rot eats the soul, nobody asks why— [Chorus] WHY! Just tell me if you can WHY! The story's the same, man Thousands of years, same old refrain Greedy get fat, poor bear the pain WHY! Do we glorify the kill Call real love odd, call it a pill WHY! We fatten wallets, tables, thrones And leave the least of these alone [Verse 2] Atheist folk point at the Church and whine. Like their own house has got nothing to hide Same games, same lies, same greed Different game, same rotten seed. We reject the truth without a look Then swallow lies without a hook No proof, no facts, just feed the fire DO THEY NOT SEE THE MIRRORS?! Liar— [Chorus] WHY! Just tell me if you can WHY! The story's the same, man Thousands of years, same old refrain Greedy get fat, poor bear the pain WHY! Do we glorify the kill Call real love odd, call it a pill WHY! We fatten wallets, tables, thrones And leave the least of these alone [Breakdown — spoken/shouted, sparse instrumentation] Mirrors. Mirrors. Look in the mirrors— [Bridge — tempo shift, more melodic, new wave synth swell] So how about you worry 'bout yourself Before you point at someone else That goes for believers, that goes for none We're all just walking contradictions, everyone Left to ourselves we fail, we are fake Not one of us better, all making mistakes Stuff that notion where the sun don't shine Mind yourself — I'll mind mine [Final Chorus — full band, gang vocals] WHY! Just tell me if you can WHY! The story's the same, man Not one of us good, not one of us right Mind yourself — I'll mind mine tonight WHY! We fatten wallets, tables, thrones Mind yourself — I'll mind my own [Outro] Mind yourself Mind yourself I'll mind mine.
