Gonna Try - James Brown

What is there to do?

I’m sick and fucking tired of sitting on my ass

Staring at the headlines

Watching the world go by

I gotta find a way

To make it all make sense

I gotta find the reason

I gotta find out why…

Why I’m so fucked up

Life can be a pointless fucking mess sometimes

I can’t help but wonder why

What’s the goddamn point of trying

To do anything at all

You tell me things’ll be better tomorrow

I have my fuckin doubts- oh yeah

But I’m gonna try

I’m gonna try

It’s my only chance to escape it

Why can’t people see that life is too short

To be wasted on a lost cause

Humanity is stupid

People can’t see that we’re destroying ourselves

I gotta find a way

To make it all make sense

I’m gonna find the reason

I’m gonna find out why…

Why I’m so fucked up
