How come you have to advertise if it’s good?
Can’t you tell?
How come nobody’s running
To help me when I yell?
How come it’s only the price that makes you sell?
How come I can’t work out what I should do?
How come nobody listens when it’s true?

How come they look suspicious
When I offer it for free?
How come they won’t deal
The cards without money?
And how come they only go after three?
And how come like the moon
You’re so easy shining through?
How come nobody listens when it’s true?

How come it’s only rivers
That make it out to sea?
How come a streamy nose?
Is it just gravity?
And how come there isn’t a force like that on me?
How come if there is they don’t tell you?
How come nobody listens when it’s true?

How come all the faces
Of soldiers are so young?
How come if they were older
They wouldn’t be there son?
And how come even a newborn baby’s
Frightened by a gun?
How come when he looks so much like you?
How come nobody listens when it’s true?
