I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report

About dsome devistating earthquake in Peru

There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive

On the Richter scale it measured 8.2



And I said, "God, please answer me one question?"

"Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons' just for this?"

What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything

And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed



Why does this always happen?

Why does this always happen to me?

Why does this always happen?

(Why) Why does this always happen to me?



Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba



I was driving down the highway when all the traffic slowed to a crawl

There was a twelve-car pile-up, everybody dead

And I saw brains and guts and vital organs splattered everywhere

As well as my friend Robert's disembodied head



And I thought - Poor Rob, I just had lunch with him

Hey, wait a minute, he still owes me money - what a jerk

Well, there's five bucks that I'm never gonna see again

Plus now, on top of everything else, it looks like I'm gonna be late to work



Why does this always happen?

Why does this always happen to me?

Why does this always happen?

(Why) Why does this always happen to me?



Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba



Oh, the other day, my boss said we were running low on toner

And he told me I should buy another case

Well, I told him I was busy, but he still just kept on asking

So, I turned around and stabbed him in the face (right in the face)



Oh, and wouldn't you know it, my knife got stuck

I guess that's probably bound to happen now and then

But I'm afraid I may have bent the tip a little

And I know that blade will never ever be quite as sharp again (quite as sharp again)

Oh, tell me



Why does this always happen?

Why does this always happen to me?

Why does this always happen?

Why does this always happen to me?



Why does this always happen to me?

(Why does this always happen to me?)

Why does this always happen to me?

(Why does this always happen to me?)



Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba



Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba

Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
