[Verse 1: Jesse] Well I can't tell if I'm shaking from the DTs or the cold By the way I'm feeling shitty man, this routine's getting old
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
[Verse 2: Jesse] Well I wake up suffocating cause my lungs are filled with tar I've wasted far too many hours blacked out at the bar
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
[Verse 3: Whitney] Well I feel so distant from a life I wanted years ago Torn between this road I'm on and where I called home
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
[Verse 4: Whitney] Chained down to a city, to a lover, to a bed A door has swung right open, I'll just step out here instead
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
[Chorus] I'm self-destructive, no one can save me You asked me if I love you, I said: \"maybe\" Why would you love me? You should learn to hate me I'm going nowhere fast...
(Trumpet part one of three!)
[Verse 5: Whitney] Well, you know I'm feeling guilty cause I never seem to call Even though I'm far away, this world just seems so small
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
[Verse 6: Whitney] Bitch though I'm broke I still have money for this beer The letters that I wrote to you, you can't see them from here
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
(The Weasel Baby everybody!)
[Verse 7: Geoff] Standing out [?] and maybe a bit more My friends far away are the best things that I've got in store
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
[Verse 8: Geoff] Driving down the interstate, going way too goddamn fast A few more hours, we'll be crashing, then later on we'll laugh
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
(We The Heathens!)
[Verse 9: We The Heathens] All we've had for days on end is liquor, beer, and speed Don't know what we're doing, but we think we need to eat
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
[Verse 10: We The Heathens] We're eastbound on the highway, my friend's broke in Virginia I've been [?] smoking crack with the RZA!
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why do I do this to myself?
[Chorus] I'm self-destructive, no one can save me You asked me if I love you, I said: \"maybe\" Why would you love me? You should learn to hate me I'm going nowhere fast...
(Trumpet part two of three!)
[Verse 11: Whitney & Jesse] Well I'm running from my problems, to my problems I ignore Nevermind my absent mind, fuck what I'm running for
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
[Verse 12: Whitney & Jesse] Well, we traveled to New London and got laid out on the floor Fuck being nice, I swear I will not be nice anymore!
[Bridge] Why do I do this? Why?! Why do I do this to myself?
[Chorus] I'm self-destructive, no one can save me You asked me if I love you, I said: \"maybe\" Why would you love me? You should learn to hate me I'm going nowhere fast...
(Last trumpet part!)
[Chorus] I'm self-destructive, no one can save me You asked me if I love you, I said: \"maybe\" Why would you love me? You should learn to hate me I'm going nowhere fast...
[Outro] (Mom and dad don't know everything!) (Oh boy)
