Lyrics Francis And The Lights – Why Not?

Text:

Shouldn’t fade out
Imaginative technique
The new has caught you

You and my emotions

They say we got in trouble
I tried to be the real one
By the minute, by the hour
Hey, what are you afraid of?

You shouldn’t be so afraid
To be afraid
So won’t you say
«Don’t be afraid»
You shouldn’t be so afraid
Don’t be afraid
So won’t you say
«Don’t be afraid»

You couldn’t get it if you tried, man
You couldn’t buy it if you had a million dollars
And if you were a rich man
All the younger people say you rock ‘n’ rollers
You gotta stop

Why not?
Why not?
Say say say
Say say say say
Say say say what?
Say why not?
You gotta stop
Why not?
Say say say

Say say say say
Say say say what?
Say why not?

Shouldn’t fade out
Imaginative technique

Put your records on Sade
Shouldn’t be so afraid to lock
Tick tock on your sentence
Said you’re living your life in place

I know you got a lot of things
I know you, and you’re living in shit
No pot to piss in
They came for you optimists
You losers, you activists
Who do you fight for?

You shouldn’t be so afraid
To be afraid
So won’t you say
«Don’t be afraid»

You couldn’t get it if you tried, man
You couldn’t buy it if you had a million dollars
And if you were a rich man
All the younger people say you rock ‘n’ rollers
You gotta stop

Why not?
Why not?
Say say say
Say say say say
Say say say what?
Say why not?
You gotta stop
Why not?

Ooh, you couldn’t have it if you tried a million ways
You couldn’t see it if you why’d a million changes
And if you were rich
Then you would probably say «they all are poorer»
You gotta stop

And why not?
I know
You can do it Russ
And why not?
You gotta stop
Why not?
(Yo, yo, who’s better?)
(Why not?)
Why not?
Why not?
