[Verse] D God came down to Earth G D To enjoy what She'd created D Took a fishing trip to Georgia A To see what She could see D Cast out a holy line G D Thought She'd hooked a big one G D Reeled in a oil barrel A D And said, "Oh my me!" [Chorus] D G D This is why your whole world is on fire A This is why you can't drink from your own springs D A D A G This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why D A D This is why y'all can't have nice things [Verse] D So She walked back to the highway G D Flagged down a passing stranger D An old man with a kind streak A Who offered Her a toke D Just as She was partakin' G D The blue lights started flashing G D As they slipped the handcuffs on Her A D She thought this must be a joke [Chorus] D G D This is why y'all are all strung out to Christmas A This is why I left you all them seeds D A D A G This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why D A D This is why y'all can't have nice things [Solo] D G D A D G D G D A D [Verse] D So She walked out of the jail G D With a rap sheet and no money Went lookin' for a coffee A And passed by an angry mob D They were yelling about people G D Who should suffer pain eternal G D She asked one for a dollar A D And they said, "Sinner, get a job" [Outro] D G D This is why (This is why) I blessed you with compassion A This is why (This is why) I gave you empathy D G D This is why (This is why) I said to love your neighbor A This is why (This is why) pills don't grow on trees D G D This is why (This is why) I gave you all salvation A This is why (This is why) angels lose their wings D A D A G This is why, this is why, this is why, why, why D A D This is why y'all can't have nice things D A D Oh, this is why y'all can't have nice things
