Carried forward from Simple Nothing, the previous band that Paul and John were in. The lyrics were written by Paul.

lyrics

Why create?
Invest all your money and time?
Who will relate
Only your friends or the people in the beer line?
Why emote?
Pour your pathos on the stage?
That song you wrote?
Would you trash it just because they offer you a wage?

Do you do it for
Love or money?
If you’re not sure
This shit ain’t funny

What’s the sense
When no one’s even listening?
What’s your defense
When no one pays attention to you up there doing your thing?
Penny for your thoughts
You’d be lucky to score a free beer
What would be the cost
If you abandoned your craft and gave it up because they never cheer?

Do you do it for
Love or money?
If you’re not sure
This shit ain’t funny

Right now it’s not your song
That’s runnin’ through their heads
You could tear the roof off
But they haven’t heard a word you said
Maybe you could be content
Performing someone else’s art
But me, I’ll forever choose
To shoot directly from my heart
