Johnny Q. Public - Why Lyrics

Artist: Johnny Q. Public

Album: Extra Ordinary

  • Songwriters: Dan Fritz, Oran Thornton, Shawn David Turner

Don't try killing time 'cause time don't die
No matter how hard you try
Years, months, weeks days, count the minutes
Count the seconds, count the seconds, it flies

Count the seconds, it flies, why, why, why
Why, oh, why do you try?
Everyday, I'm bothered by the simple things that make me
Try to live a life that's worthy of the price that's paid to cover me

Very soon, I will not want to take it
There comes a time when the tables must be turned
The tables must be turned, why, why, why
Why, oh, why do you try?

Don't waste my Monday
Don't waste my Tuesday
Don't waste the time I have
For making up the time you waste

Not much is being said by anybody in the world
About the things we get a hold of that could make a
Working brain go dead if I try, it seems I'm not accepted
Why do you listen to the one who has nothing to say
The one who has nothing to say, why, why, why
Why, oh, why do you try?

Don't waste my Wednesday
Don't waste my Thursday
Don't waste the time I have
For making up the time you waste
Why, oh, why do you try?

Don't waste my Friday
Don't waste my Saturday
Don't waste my Sunday, my Sunday
My Sunday, my Sunday, my Sunday
