about

Recorded live in Boston, 2017

lyrics

(Capo 4

C-Am-G-F)

Why do I do this? (repeat forever)

Is it that I love singin'

more than anythin'?

Or do I just need attention

for reinforcin

the way we were raised

in nineteen eighty eight,

Cuz I was taught

that only losers are not on top?

How much would I give up

just to keep doin this stuff?

Would I sell the integrity I had

and let them put me in an ad

just for more big shows

and can I stop them if the answer's no?
