"What Are We Doing This For" lyrics
NOFX & Codefendants Lyrics
Why is everyone so scared to say?
Liars are weak-minded cowards drawn to other liars
Who feel good about themselves, 'cause fantasizing is much easier than
Dealing with your life, 'cause knowing the fact that the truth
Will never set you free, you always gotta tell a lie to keep your sanity
It's just the way it is, the way it's gotta be
So pick your favorite hero, rockstar, or the most profitable deity
'Cause freedom isn't simple
What no one wants to admit is that we choose to be slaves in this bust a capitalist dictatorship
If you haven't read Dostoevsky or Kant
You'll never know how to live, you'll only know what you don't want
Then you read Jean-Paul Sartre The Wall and realize it doesn't matter
How sincere or moral you are, it comes down to how far
You're willing to fight for something that you know is right
But you're in the minority who doesn't believe in always wanting more-ity
The kill, kill, kill, the poor-ity, the immoral majority
The rotten to the core-ity
The what the fuck are we doing this for-ity
What the fuck are we doing this for?
Liars are weak-minded cowards drawn to other liars
Who feel good about themselves, 'cause fantasizing is much easier than
Dealing with your life, 'cause knowing the fact that the truth
Will never set you free, you always gotta tell a lie to keep your sanity
It's just the way it is, the way it's gotta be
So pick your favorite hero, rockstar, or the most profitable deity
'Cause freedom isn't simple
What no one wants to admit is that we choose to be slaves in this bust a capitalist dictatorship
If you haven't read Dostoevsky or Kant
You'll never know how to live, you'll only know what you don't want
Then you read Jean-Paul Sartre The Wall and realize it doesn't matter
How sincere or moral you are, it comes down to how far
You're willing to fight for something that you know is right
But you're in the minority who doesn't believe in always wanting more-ity
The kill, kill, kill, the poor-ity, the immoral majority
The rotten to the core-ity
The what the fuck are we doing this for-ity
What the fuck are we doing this for?
