Y Not
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 Not? Check in on the merchandise
Why Not? Always something in your size
Why Not? Who says that it's not allowed?
Why not do it if you want to do it now?
I've heard all the reasons
Why you can't do this, and why you can't do that
I can't understand it
And I don't believe it, not even for a minute
I still don't believe it, even when I'm in it
Trying to get out and trying to get in
Trying to remember all the places I've been
Let's stop reading in between the lines
Let's stop doing things and paying fines
Let's stop thinking that we're in control
Let's stop listening in to our soul
Let's stop getting in each other way
Let's stop doing what we're doing today
Sometimes I think it's easy
Sometimes I think it's bad
I've got to remember some days when I feel sad
Nothing lasts for ever, and everything must pass
As long as I keep going, If get off my ass
I listen to my music, I listen to my soul
The place that I come from
Well it's still rock and roll
I've got things to do and things to say
I' ve got love to help me every day
I've got bridges that I've got to cross
I"ve got to get the things that I have lost
I've got to make it real and make it sound
Why not? Why not? Why not?
Why Not check in on the merchandise
Why not? Always something in your size
Why Not? Who says that it's not allowed?
Why not do it if you want to now?
WHy Not? I promise you will be suprised
Why Not? Why Not? Why Not?
Why Not?...
Why Not.....Why Not? Why Not?
Why Not, Why Not, Why Not.
