Lyrics for I Don't Get It

Breaking away to the other side I wanna make sense of why we live and die I don't get it, I don't get it I ask my friends if they understand They just laugh at me and watch another band They don't worry, they don't worry Lookin' for a way to lose my load I wanna make it easy to walk this road I can't find it, yeah I can't find it Yeah, I'm looking for answers in so many places I open my mind I don't get it Walkin' this earth and keepin' my peace I do what I want but the price is steep It don't seem right, it don't seem right My mama she told me "One step at a time And sooner or later you'll walk that line" I don't want to, I don't want to Takin' my time to live and die I wanna find a way to do it right And I ease on, and I ease on They say "One thing always leads to another" I open my mind I don't get it Breaking away to the other side I wanna make sense of why we live and die I don't get it, I don't get it I don't get it, I don't get it I don't get it
