Why Lyrics by Blink-182

Why

Blink 182 - Why

Since you were born you watched TV
Cartoons with violence
And greed
In your world all that was okay

Your parents never taught you right
From wrong but they taught you to fight
Now it's time to show them you've got
Gotta show them what you've got

An attitude of fancy cars
And your buddies got your back
Their parents house compared to yours
Looks something like a shack
In your 37 runs
Your buddies spanked you red
A simple steerage's all it takes
To fill em up with led but

Why are you acting
Like you're someone else?
Why can't you stop thinking
About yourself?

Last Friday night you went driving
A stolen car with golden rings
It was something you just had to do
Your little friend told cops about you
And you were sentenced for a long time
Now tell me what you're gonna do

In a world where no one cares
Labels I don't wanna wear
I had a dream that I could once
Well, save the industries
But you had to take it away yeah
You had to take it away from me

Why are you acting
Like you're someone else?
Why can't you stop thinking
About yourself?
