I don’t understand why everyone is how they are
I don’t understand why things happen
I don’t understand why the sky is blue
I don’t understand why the grass is green
I don’t understand why guys are so dumb
I don’t understand why girls think they have to impress every guy
I don’t understand why some people think they are just Flat out better than others
I don’t understand why people are people
I don’t understand why some people get shunned
And most of all
I don’t understand why we all just can get along.
