Gotta Be a Reason

There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth

Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt

The changin' of the seasons never changed my hurt

So what's it worth, what's it worth?

Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin

Another drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in

If we're goin' down together, better take another hit

We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Walkin' down to the burial ground with the sad song in his brain

General Cloud is an old man now, but it feels like yesterday

He was on the front lines, stranded on the beach

Crawlin' to his best friend floatin' in the sea

But he didn't make it, he still can't believe

How arbitrary fate is, he says

There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth

Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt

The changin' of the seasons never changed my hurt

So what's it worth, what's it worth?

Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin

Another drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in

If we're goin' down together, better take another hit

We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

She went down to her job in town with a sad song in her heart

Thirty-three, with the wasted dream to become a movie star

Livin' out a suitcase, servin' at a bar

Savin' up some pennies, workin' after dark

Is she gonna make it? She still can't believe

How arbitrary fate is, she says

There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth

Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt

The changin' of the seasons never changed my hurt

So what's it worth, what's it worth?

Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin

Another drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in

If we're goin' down together, better take another hit

We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth

Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt

The changin' of the seasons never changed my hurt

So what's it worth, what's it worth?

Worth another shot of whiskey and another sip of gin

Another drop of poison that is slowly sinkin' in

If we're goin' down together, better take another hit

We won't be here forever, so let's make the best of it

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, mmm
