Lyrics
WHY?
V1) I don't know what's going on but it don't seem good.
Things never seem to go the way they should.
Well I'm not trying to rule just wanna be free,
Why is everybody picking on me?
CH) HEY HEY
HEY HEY HEY HEY
HEY HEY HEY HEY
HEY HEY HEY HEY
Well if it's all good and if its all fine.
Why am I about to lose my mind?
-drums-
1-climb to 5 then-
V2) Move around move around get up and get down,
Gimme gimme gimme till it's quiting time.
They want more for less but you get less for more
And you do what you do till you can't give no more.
Why is everybody picking on me?
CH)
BRIDGE 4-1-4-5 Can't you leave me alone, and I think I'll be fine,
Gonna play this guitar, till the end of the line.
SOLO (over Ch 3-4x)
BRIDGE oh, better leave me alone, or I'm sure you'll regret,
I'm gonna keep moving forward, till the end of my days.
V3) Well could someone tell me why I'm paying dues till I die,
And it seems like all the breaks are going to the other guy.
Well I'm not gonna worry, I'm not gonna fret.
Just gonna keep moving forward till the day of my death.
Why is everybody picking on me?
