lyrics

WHY DO I DO THE WORK I DO?
WHY DO I TRY TO JUST MAKE DUE?
WITH WHAT I GOT
WHY AM I NOT
INSPIRED TO ACQUIRE A LOT
OF NEEDLESS THINGS
THAT SEEM TO BRING
WITH THEM NO ZEN
JUST BURDENING TURMOIL AND STRIFE
GREAT SACRIFICE
WHY DO I THINK IT WOULD BE NICE
TO LIVE WITHIN MY MEAGER MEANS
STAY KEEN TO WHAT IS HAPPENING
MANEUVERING THROUGH THIS BIG MESS
MINDING MY OWN DAMN BUSINESS
WHY DO I CARE WHEN OTHERS DON'T?
WHY DO I TRY WHEN OTHERS WON'T?
WHY DO I FEEL WHAT OTHERS DO?
WHY DO I ALWAYS THINK THINGS THROUGH?
WHY DO I OFTEN EXPECT
THE OUTCOME TO BE PERFECT?
WHY DO I HAVE SO MANY FLAWS?
WHY DOES THIS GIVE ME SUCH GREAT PAUSE?
IN TIME CAN I BE TRAINED TO BE
EXCEEDINGLY MORE HAPPY
THAN I AM NOW, OR AM I DOOMED
TO BE CONSUMED BY DREADFUL GLOOM

WHY DO I WANT TO DIE?
WHY DO I WANT TO DIE?

WHY DO I ALWAYS RAMBLE ON?
WHY DO I WRITE SO MANY SONGS?
WHY DOES THIS BLAND INSANITY
SOMETIMES MOVE TO INSPIRE ME
TO GET TO WORK - TO DO THE DEED
TO SWEAT AND BLEED - FULFILL A NEED
FOR BRIGHTER HOPES AND BETTER DAYS
FOR ANYONE THAT CAN BE SAVED
WHY DO I OFTEN SEEM TO BELIEVE
WE'RE OF A WILDLY DIFFERENT BREED
HIGHLY EVOLVED - CALM AND CONTROLLED
A TRULY UNNERVING SIGHT TO BEHOLD
SO HOLD ON TIGHT BECAUSE IT JUST MIGHT
GET CRAZY UP IN HERE TONIGHT
WHY WOULD I ASK FOR ANY MORE?
WHY DO WE BOTHER TO KEEP SCORE?

WHY DO I WANT TO DIE?
WHY DO I WANT TO DIE?
