One, two, one, two, three, four
Well I can't tell if I'm shaking from the DTs or the cold
By the way I'm feeling shitty man, this routine's getting old
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
Well I wake up suffocating cause my lungs are filled with tar
I've wasted far too many hours blacked out at the bar
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
Well I feel so distant from a life I wanted years ago
Torn between this road I'm on and where I called a home
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
Chained down to a city, to a lover, to a bed
A door has swung right open, I'll just step out here instead
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
I'm self-destructive, no one can save me
You asked me if I love you, I said: Maybe
Why would you love me?
You should learn to hate me
I'm going nowhere fast
Well, you know I'm feeling guilty cause I never seem to call
Even though I'm far away, this world just seems so small
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
Bitchin' I am broke but I still have money for this beer
The letters that I wrote to you, you can't see them from here
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
Standing out, make a paper's penny, and maybe a bit more
My friends far away are the best things that I've got in store
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
Driving down the interstate, going way too goddamn fast
A few more hours, we'll be crashing, then later on we'll laugh
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
All we've had for days on end is liquor, beer, and speed
Don't know what we're doing, but we think we need to eat
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
We're eastbound on the highway, my friend's broke in Virginia
I've been drinking till I pass out, smoking crack with the RZA!
Why do I do this? Why do I do this to myself?
I'm self-destructive, no one can save me
You asked me if I love you, I said: Maybe
Why would you love me?
You should learn to hate me
I'm going nowhere fast
Well I'm running from my problems, to my problems I ignore
Nevermind my absent mind, fuck what I'm running for
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
Well, we traveled to New London and got laid out on the floor
Fuck being nice, I swear I will not be nice anymore!
Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
I'm self-destructive, no one can save me
You asked me if I love you, I said: Maybe
Why would you love me?
You should learn to hate me
I'm going nowhere fast
I'm self-destructive, no one can save me
You asked me if I love you, I said: Maybe
Why would you love me?
You should learn to hate me
I'm going nowhere fast
(Mom and dad don't know everything!)
(Oh boy)
