The Gardes - The Reason Lyrics

Well, I don't know what the reason could be
For some reason someone's got it in for me
Wants to set me up in this swank hotel
Then leave me stranded with the bill
But don't let that old lady cut my thread
So I can keep up my act of just playing dead
Waltz around with this song rolling through my head
Trying to remember every word I said

No, I don't know why, does anybody know
Heard a preacher preaching on the radio
He's reading from the book of Revelations
That everyone should send fifty dollars in
He's talking about these last days we're in
No, I don't know

Don't know what the reason could be
So I just went on a spending spree
I got a new car, new house, new clothes, new hat
But anytime they could just take it all back
But don't let that old lady cut my thread
I'm far too busy just to fall over dead
With a to-do list with nothing on it, in my head
I guess I'll do something else instead

No I don't know why, does anybody know?
I saw a man talking on a TV show
He's saying that it's all far too complex
It must be because of some intelligence
But he just left me wondering where it all went
No, I don't know

I don't know what the reason could be
So I signed up for scientific inquiry
But it was one of those double-blind tests
So no one knows what's gonna happen next
But I keep asking her not to cut my thread
I'm far too intelligent just to end up dead
But she don't seem to care about the books I've read
Or all these heavy thoughts going through my head

No, I don't know what the reason could be
Is it all just a right wing conspiracy
Does someone really have it in for me
Or am I just living in a fantasy
I'll try and not to take it all so personally
Ah, no, I don't know
