[Intro: Billy Strings]
See it coming everywhere I look
It's falling down like rain
Kill a man over a sentence in a book
And collect a reward for his pain
Such a failing situation
And I'm sick of looking at it anywhere I go
Let 'em talk and send their hate and stick to war again
Like it's the only thing we know

[Chorus: Billy Strings]
So what's the reason for this again?
Right back where we've always been
These excuses are wearing thin
So, what's the reason for this again?
What's the reason for this again?
Can't decide, but you've got to win
We're all the same, but you're not my friend
So, what's the reason for this again?

[Verse 1: Billy Strings]
Same shit, different century
Here we go again
It's no parade, seeing tanks on your street
What's the mission?
When's it gonna end?
How many stones do we have to line up
Before we understand?
Caught up, drawing lines on a paper
At the price of the blood in the sand
[Chorus: Billy Strings]
So what's the reason for this again?
Right back where we've always been
These excuses are wearing thin
So what's the reason for this again?
What's the reason for this again?
You can't decide, but you've got to win
We're all the same, but you're not my friend
So what's the reason for this again?

[Verse 2: Billy Strings]
Step into the grinder with your brother tomorrow
And kiss your mother goodbye
She'll wipe her tears with your ribbons
And then they'll replace you in the blink of an eye
So bite the bullet and boots on the ground
These ain't sticks and stones
Flicking matches at a powder keg
While you're standing on a pile of bones

[Chorus: Billy Strings]
What's the reason for this again?
Can't decide, but you've got to win
We're all the same, but you're not my friend
So what's the reason for this again?
[Verse 3: RMR]
You're the reason I've been going psycho
It's too ugly, still can't keep my eyes closed
You're cold, I still need your touch though
Probably wake up and still hate you tomorrow
What's the reason you never wanna conversate?
What's the reason you never want to stay and wait?
Fumbling all your words like you're afraid of me
But I'm the one with the knife stuck in my back again
Call my phone, I decline, you're the reason why
We don't love in sequence, you're not even mine
Show another display, count how many times
You can't have it your way, sacrifice my pride

[Chorus: Billy Strings]
So what's the reason for this again?
Right back where we've always been
These excuses are wearing thin
So what's the reason for this again?
What's the reason for this again?
Can't decide, but you've got to win
We're all the same, but you're not my friend
So what's the reason for this again?

[Outro: Billy Strings]
What's the reason for this again?
What's the reason for this again?
What's the reason for this?
