Gotta Be a Reason - Alec Benjamin

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

Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt

The changing 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 sinking in

If we’re going 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, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Walking down to the burial ground

With a 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

Crawling to his best friend, floating 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 changing 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 sinking in

If we’re going 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, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

She went down to her job in town

With a sad song in her heart

33 with a wasted dream to become a movie star

Living out a suitcase, serving at a bar

Saving up some pennies, working 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 changing 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 sinking in

If we’re going 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, ooh

Ooh, 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 changing 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 sinking in

If we’re going 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, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
