Went up to my boss today
Said hey man can I have more pay
I said will you, please sir
He took one and then
Said if you ask me that again
I'll kill you

Why, why, why
Do I have to cry
Mine's not to reason why though
It's just to do and die though
But even though it seems that the world
Has passed me over

Same sort of the things with the birds in this town
I pick 'em up and they put me down
Still you can't complain
But if I had a fancy car
Mercedes or a Jaguar
I'd thrill 'em
They'd come running

Why, why, why
Do I have to cry
Mine's not to reason why though
It's just to do and die though
But even though it seems that the world
Has passed me over

You should see how the women treat me
Perhaps I should have the guts to see
I'm a failure, teenage failure
If you cheat on me again
I'd hire a detective
Then I'd have him trail yer
A sleuth forsooth

Why, why, why
Do I have to cry
Mine's not to reason why though
It's just to do and die though
But even though it seems that the world
Has passed me over

Now this ain't avery fine song
Lucky for you it ain't too long
Sit still or I'll smash your face in
If I had an expensive guitar
I'd write great songs, I'd go far
Maybe

Why, why, why
Do I have to cry
Mine's not to reason why though
It's just to do and die though
The time has come for me to go
It's better that way for all I know
Even so it seems that the world
Has passed me over.
