Human Nature

Looking out
Across the nighttime
The city breathes an endless sigh
Hear her voice
Shake my window
Flames reaching the sky

Get us out
Into the nighttime
Four walls won’t hold us tonight
If this town
Finds him innocent
Then we’ll just have to fight

If they say, “Why? Why?”
Tell ’em that it’s human nature
Why, why do they do it this way?
If they say, “Why? Why?”
Tell ’em that it’s just their nature
Why, why? We can make a new day.

Reaching out
Standing with strangers
Police sirens are everywhere
See that girl
She was shot while dreaming
Say her name in the air

If they say, “Why? Why?”
Tell ’em that it’s just their nature
Why, why do they do this way?
If they say, “Why, try?”
Tell ’em that it’s just our nature
Why, why? We can make a new day.
We’re not livin’ this way
We’re not lovin’ this way

That way (The way it is.)
That way (The way it is.)

Looking out
Across the morning
The city’s ashes ride the heat
Reaching out
We all touch shoulders
We’re soldiers in the street

If they say, “Why? Why?”
Tell ’em that it’s just their nature
Why, why do they do that way?
If they say, “Why, try?”
Ooh, tell ’em
Why, why? We can make a new day.
