I see it comin’ everywhere I look
It’s falling down like rain
Kill a man over a sentence in a book and collect a reward for his pain
It’s such a failing situation and I’m sick of looking at it anywhere I go
We let them talk us into hate and stick to war again like it’s the only thing we know

So what’s the reason for this again?
Right back where we’ve always been
these excuses are wearing thin
What’s the reason for this again?
What’s the reason for this again?
You can’t decide but you’ve got to win
We’re all the same but you’re not my friend
So what’s the reason for this again?

Same shit different century
Here we go again
It's no parade seeing tanks on your street
What's the mission, when’s it gonna end
How many stones do we have to line up before we understand
We’re caught up drawing lines on paper, at the price of the blood in the sand

So what’s the reason for this again?
Right back where we’ve always been
these excuses are wearing thin
What’s the reason for this again?
So what’s the reason for this again?
You can’t decide but you’ve got to win
We’re all the same but you’re not my friend
So what’s the reason for this again?

So step into the grinder with your brother tomorrow
And kiss your mother goodbye
She’ll wipe her tears with your ribbons and then they’ll replace you in the blink of an eye
So bite the bullet and boots on the ground these ain’t sticks and stones
Flicking matches at a powderkeg while you’re standing on a pile of bones

So what’s the reason for this again?
Can't decide but you've got to win
We're all the same but you're not my friend
What’s the reason for this again?

You are the reason I’ve been going psycho,
It’s too ugly still can’t keep my eyes close
You’re cold I still need your touch though
Probably wake up and still hate you tomorrow
What’s the reason you never wanna conversate
What’s the reason you never want to stay and wait
Fumbling all your words like you’re afraid of me
But I’m the one with the knife stuck in my back again

Call my phone I decline, you’re the reason why
We don’t love in sequence you’re not even mine
Show another display count how many times
You can’t have it your way sacrifice my pride!

So what’s the reason for this again?
Right back where we’ve always been
But these excuses are wearing thin
What’s the reason for this again?
So what’s the reason for this again?
You can’t decide but you’ve got to win
We’re all the same but you’re not my friend
So what’s the reason for this again?
So what’s the reason for this again?
So what’s the reason for this again?
What's the reason for this?
