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)
