"What Am I Singing For" lyrics

I could write a song about a bong
So all the college kids could sing along
And I could get high with them

And I could sing a tune this afternoon
For all the babies booming, pills consuming truth
As the elders dream of youth

And this melody it sounds a bit like
It could be played in stores and malls
And I'll take my check directly
And I'll spend it all

And this chord, who's it for?
Please pay five bucks at the door
And I swear I'm singing to you

Oh tell me, Oh tell me, I don't know anymore
Ooooo, what am I singing for?
It's my choice to use my voice
And you can choose to ignore
Ooooo, what am I singing for?

And I could write some words and tell the world
About a girl who strung me out like dirty pearls
But we've heard that story before

And I could make a beat and rap a hook for you to dance to
And the the clubs it shook would
Keep me crunk with my junk in the trunk
And your body don't lie when you move to the funk

Two and four get the people through the door
While one and three live a little more lonely
People ignore the beats they can't clap to anymore
And what's a song if nobody listens, nobody cares
Won't fit a box made with perfect squares
What could I do to convince you I'm still here

Oh tell me, Oh tell me, I don't know anymore
Ooooo, what am I singing for?
It's my choice to use my voice
And you can choose to ignore
Ooooo, what am I singing for
