Why Go Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years and countin' since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck and mommy agrees, hey
Woah, uh, yeah
[Chorus]
Why go home? Why go home?
Why go home?
[Verse 2]
She seems to be stronger but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another clone
Ooh, ah! Ah yeah
[Chorus]
Ooh, why go home? Why go home?
Why go home? Why go home?
What you taught me (Why go home?) Put me here (Why go home?)
Don't come visit (Why go home?) Mother, sing me
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Wow!
Oh, why go home? Why go home?
Why go home? Why go home?
What you taught me (Why go home?) Put me here (Why go home?)
Don't come visit (Why go home?) Mother, Mother, yeah (Why go home?)
She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
Maybe someday another child won't feel as alone as she does
It's been two years and countin' since they put her in this place
She's been diagnosed by some stupid fuck and mommy agrees, hey
Woah, uh, yeah
[Chorus]
Why go home? Why go home?
Why go home?
[Verse 2]
She seems to be stronger but what they want her to be is weak
She could play pretend, she could join the game, boy
She could be another clone
Ooh, ah! Ah yeah
[Chorus]
Ooh, why go home? Why go home?
Why go home? Why go home?
What you taught me (Why go home?) Put me here (Why go home?)
Don't come visit (Why go home?) Mother, sing me
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Wow!
Oh, why go home? Why go home?
Why go home? Why go home?
What you taught me (Why go home?) Put me here (Why go home?)
Don't come visit (Why go home?) Mother, Mother, yeah (Why go home?)
About
Genius Annotation
This song is about a girl who was put in mental hospital against her will and without any mental illness. “Why Go” refers to the lack of motivation to go back home after spending time unjustly in this place.
Leash is a sequel to this story, talking about the time after she left the institution and was put into a strict regimen (no dates, early curfew etc.)
