G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? 

Chorus:

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s an easy answer.

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s a crying shame.

Bb  F  C  G Logic dictates 2+2 makes four.

Bb  F  G FF#G Give a child candy they’ll want more, more and more.

Bb  F  C  Moisture makes babies. Dryness isn’t bliss.

G  F  Bb  C Even if you don’t drink you’ll need to piss.

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out?  It’s a crumbly cracker.

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s a rigged game.

Bb  F  C  G Belief doesn’t make reality.

Bb  F  G FF#G Like me, cut you and you’ll bleed, bleed and bleed.

Bb  F  C  Take away the truth. Leave us with nothing.

G  F  Bb  C Spin the wheel of fortune. Hide your bluffing. 

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s too deceptive.

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s ‘cause no one can.

Bb  F  C  G Confirmation bias. Computer program glitch.

Bb  F  G FF#G Human nature’s lemmings off a cliff. Off a cliff.

Bb  F  C  Future’s endangered for more than mankind.

G  F  Bb  C Propaganda makes most of us blind.

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s what you give.

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s made by man.

Bb  F  C  G 3D printers print out anything we need.

Bb  F  G FF#G Money isn’t the root of greed. Of our greed.

Bb  F  C  Hunger in the belly. Emptiness inside.

G  F  Bb  C Wishful thinking white-washing. Filling us with pride.

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s called collusion.

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s a giant con.

Bb  F  C  G Portraits in the hallway hanging upside down

Bb  F  G FF#G turn into a smile from a frown. From a frown.

Bb  F  C  Swing low off the high road. Get to the other side.

G  F  Bb  C Chicken Little’s warnings go unheeded. Her eggs get fried.

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s an illusion.

G  F  G Why can’t you figure it out? It’s a new dawn.

Bb  F  C  G Hold out for more. Don’t settle for less.

Bb  F  G FF#G Elbow grease will clean up the mess. Up the mess.

Bb  F  C  Take out the garbage. Recycle what you can.

G  F  Bb  C Improvising might be better than your plan.

G  F  G  Why can’t you figure it out?  Figure it out.
