lyrics

well philosophy is no good to me
I don't know what I'm doing so I don't need to know why
you think that love will leave you fearless
but fear will leave you loveless every time
you think that death will understand you
when he comes to take your hand and close your eyes
but he will only bring you pain
then he will bring it on again to hear you cry

you need to get with it get real get real to go without x4

even bitterness is precious
so go easy on yours boy don't use it up
your hope is your projection of despair
where you despair of looking up
you think your wife will understand you
when you leave her for a younger fuller cup
life is for the living
and the dead who don't know how to live it up

you need to get with it get real get real to go without x4

so criticize constructively
deconstruct the vain conceits inside your mind
let your karma run your dogma over
let your senses guide you through the lies
when your perpetual emotions
have stalled in the darkness of wasted time
don't let it fool you into thinking
that every thing you think your doing will turn out fine....

you need to get with it get real get real to go without x4

I don't need to know why do you need to know why ... ad infinitum etc
