Once upon a time
Or so the story’s told
Everyone lives happily
As the end unfolds

Forever sweet
And never ending

All I want
Is to know why
Life is not
A lullaby

Reality tells
A different kind of tale
Everybody tries to win
But everyone fails

It's never sweet
And never ending

All I want
Is to know why
Life is not
A lullaby

It’s all a lie
Tell me why
It’s all a lie
The lullaby

All a lie
All a lie
Tell me why
Tell me why
All a lie
All a lie
Why

All I want
Is to know why
Life is not
A lullaby
