we're sorry richard's not at home
he'd like to spend the day alone
and we don't know why we believe
what we believe
we're sorry jane can't come to play
she's sad and won't come out today
and we don't know why we believe
what we believe
and he won't laugh
and we don't know why
and he won't talk
and we don't know why
we're sorry mary's not at home
she's gone to sleep and won't get up
and we don't know why we believe
what we believe
and she won't laugh
and we don't know why
and she won't talk
and we don't know why
we can't find faith in the good times rat race
your good fun friend doesn't ever wanna speak again
and all my tears can't put it back together
and we wanna be good
somebody should
and he won't laugh
and we don't know why
and he won't talk
and we don't know why
we're sorry richard's not at home
he'd like to spend the time alone
and we don't know why we believe
what we believe
and he won't laugh
and we don't know why
and he won't talk
and we don't know why
and we don't know why
