why, what is the point ?.

lyrics

Why Dose It ?

I for one, I look around me, I can’t believe
Is this really all we’ve got to show
A few pathetic, typecast down backstreets the fighting
I’m already, your all ready, why does it happen
Why doesn’t it happen, why?

Bird in hand mean empty tree top
Ride to town mean wait at bus stop

If you more than fifty percent longer
Longer than it takes to peel an orange
Well pack your bags, you agree?
We think we know, we know we don’t


Brick on your head mean you fall over
Coin in the gas mean boiling water

Anything, anything, who wants to?
The doors gonna open, why does it happen
Why doesn’t it happen, why?

Fascinating, slap it on the telly
Even if it takes ten years, gonna find out

I’m always interested in people sending me stuff to work with. Contact me ... more
