Why Don't They Leave Things Alone?

(album: Believe You Me - 1985)

I can see it as you are
And I can see it in your eyes
And I can see it as you are
And I can see it in your eyes
The floodgates are now open
And the lonely truth will flow out

Why can't they leave things as they are
Why can't they leave things alone

I heard a friend drift by my window
I saw a gun blow him away
And I can see it in your hand
And I can see it in your eyes

Why can't we leave things as they are
Why don't they leave things alone
Why can't we leave things as they are
Why don't they leave things alone

Always, we see rivers and fences
Always, we see beautiful mountains

And I can see it as you are
And I can see it in your eyes

Why don't they leave things as they are
Why can't we leave things alone
Why don't they leave things as they are
Why can't we leave things alone

And I can see it
Why don't they leave things as they are
And I can see it
Why can't we leave things alone
