The Reason
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why do you do the things you do
That we can't understand
Ignore the doubt so we could figure out how to
Lend a helping hand
I really appreciate your concern
For my well being
But step aside and I'll show you that I'm wise
To the things that are said of me
You can't hear it
You can't see it
But that's my reason
Get a job and don't be a slob
Try to be a responsible man
I go to work like any other jerk
And I do the best I can
I got to make I got to create
I got to build with my own two hands
I travel around from town to town
Making noise in a hardcore band
You can't hear it
You can't see it
But that's my reason
I can't stand people telling me
What I ought to do
I've warned them once before
And now I'm telling you
You say
Sit down have a drink
Calm you down enough to think
What're the funny clothes about
Why don't you let your hair grow out
You're getting older act your age
To the way you like it change my ways
Just cause you don't understand
I say
No
