Why do I bother going out every weekend playing the same thing ?

Why do I try to do something different when everybody wants more of the same ?

Why do I worry that my next song has gotta be as good as the last one ?

When no one's really listening anyway.

We gain experience for every day we walk this earth.

So why after 40 odd years am I still never paid just what I'm worth ?

Oh stop complaining and just get on with the show.

I'm not complaining oh No No NO !

Why do I care ? Why do I care ?

Why do I care ? At All.

I could sing Laa Laa La La La Laa, All night long in every song.

Sing Laa Laa La La La Laa, and know that everyone would sing along.

So Sing Laa Laa La La La Laa, Laa Laa La La La Laa Laa Laa Laa,

Laa Laa La La La Laa, Laa Laa La La La Laa Laa Fucking Laaaa.

Now you're standing with your back to me

Talking about what you just watched on TV,

We're just a Juke Box in your mind.

You rush to purchase our CDs

Like you rush to contract HIV

But you'd still buy half as much for twice the price.

Your sadly short attention span

Is dwindling like the Incredible Shrinking Man.

Can't keep your focus for one whole song.

You'll be sorry when I'm gone

There's nothing more for you to ignore.

Just turn the radio on.

And Sing Laa Laa La La La Laa, Laa Laa La La La Laa Laa Laa Laa,

Laa Laa La La La Laa, Laa Laa Laaaa.

Why do I care ? Why do I care ?

Why do I care ? At All.

So now it's late and every sinew and every muscle aches,

I'm contemplating what I've done.

Go back home and rack my brains, sit in my chair tear out my hair,

Wondering where it is I'm going wrong.

So I stay up late and concentrate, practice 'til my fingers ache,

Body and mind and heart and soul.

Another night, another town so seldom up, so often down.

Hey Man ! That's Rock and Roll.

Why do I care ? Why do I care ?

Why do I care ? At All.

Why do I care ? Why do I care ?

Why do I care ? I just don't know.......Anymore

Well just for you here's what I'll do I'll answer my own Question.

The reason lies inside of me and my own satisfaction.

I guess if you wanna be true to something be true to yourself.

What I sing won't change a thing.

Makes no difference what I say.

But thank you for your patience anyway.
