Koufax – Why Bother At All lyrics

Were you born without a thought or cause, yet alone a care? I know damn well that it's hard to sell a book or class. The mess we're in - I want to know how we got here? How the hell have we got here? Someone just give us hope. Rescue us. Rescue us from the kids in their homes who won't speak to us. They just laugh at us saying "Why bother learning - it just gets you nowhere. We're asleep through schooling because the books they weren't worth reading. Why bother listening, when it's lies repeated?" This is the age of no feeling. All we're trying to do is make some sense of a TV set - a face to respect, albeit hardly dressed. Only the modern time, I'll have to say what the public wants is what it gets. What it wants is what it will get. Someone just give us hope. Rescue us. Rescue us from the kids in their homes who won't speak to us. They just laugh at us saying "Why bother learning - it just gets you nowhere. We're asleep through schooling because the books they weren't worth reading. Yeah, why bother voting, when we know they're cheating?" This is the age of no feeling. Why bother learning? Why bother reading? Well then why bother speaking? Why bother breathing? Yeah, why bother at all.
