Why do the cameras cost around $1200's and the camera are about $600.
Answer
Like cameras themselves, lenses differ.
They aren't more expensive... there are just more expensive lenses than there are more expensive cameras.
That's because they're trying to target consumers with the cameras. The few pro cameras are expensive because they're targeting pros.
There are cheap lenses from less than a hundred. It goes up, for pro lenses such as Carl Zeiss or Canon's L series, from $1000, mostly $3000. Telephoto lenses in particular are around $10,000 each.
I don't like it either. But... you *do* get what you pay for. Literally too, of course. If you didn't, you'd have been scammed. =)

Why are camera lenses so expensive?
.
I mean... it's just a piece of glass....
Answer
Camera lenses are so expensive because the demand for these lenses exists among consumers to such a level that the manufacturer can charge that price for the available supply of lenses.
But for what it's worth, a camera lens is just a piece of glass in the same way that a computer is just a calculator.
