Why can't you have a little common sense?
Why does the chicken water float up to your head?
Why don't you listen when they tell you to do right?
Why do you wake up in a cold sweat every night?
Why is it your apartment always looks like shit?
With broken glass and lots of trash
but you don't take care of none of it

Why do you think it always ends up like this?
Like life's a joke you're just taking a piss
Or you think there's someone else that you can blame?
And every time it ends up playing out the same

Why don't you have a little common sense?
Why don't you have a little common sense?
Why don't you have a little common sense?

Why do the drugs always go right up to my head?
Why can't I remember the fucked up things I did?
Why do I always end up pissing in my bed?
Why don't I remember the smart things that I read?
When I was young they told me to stay out of my head
'Make the wrong choices', yeah, and you'll end up dead

Why can't I have a little common sense?
Why don't I realize that I might end up dead?
Why can't I have a little common sense?
Why can't I have a little common sense?

Why don't you have a little common sense?
Why don't you have a little common sense?
Why don't you have a little common sense?
Why don't you have a little common sense?
Why don't you have a little common sense?
Why don't I have a little common sense?
Why don't I have a little common sense?
Why don't I have a little common sense?
