Why Are We Doing This (Live from the Underground)

[Female Singer]
[Verse 1]
Everybody's got the same shoes on
Same smile
Same song
I'm standing here, I'm looking round
Does anybody feel this wrong?

[Female Singer]
[Pre-Chorus]
We're buying what they tell us to
Wearing faces that aren't true
I see you fading to the noise
But I can't make the same choice
Am I the only one who sees it?
Am I the only one who feels it?

[Female Singer]
[Chorus]
Why are we doing this?
Why are we doing this?
Chasing something that don't exist
Why are we doing this?
I don't want to be like them
I don't want to just pretend
Tell me—

[Male Rapper]
[Post-Chorus]
Why—
Why—
Why—
Why are we doing this?

[Female Singer]
[Bridge]
I want something I can feel
I want something that is real
Not another pretty lie
Not another reason why
I want something I can touch
Something that can mean this much
Break me out or break me down
I won't wear your paper crown

[Drop transition]
Why—
Why—
Why—

Am I the only one who sees it?
Am I the only one who feels it?

(Why are we doing this?)

Chasing something that don't exist

(Why are we doing this?)

Break me out or break me down

(Why are we doing this?)

I won't wear your paper crown

[808’s begin taking over]
Not another pretty lie
Not another reason why

I want something I can touch

Why—
Why—
Why—

[Male Rapper]
Just another fuckin’ puppet to the system—

Strings on my wrist, I can feel ’em when I twitch, yeah
Is it my dream or a script that I live in?
Tell me who I am, ’cause I lost my own vision

[Male Rapper]
Everybody got a script, everybody sayin’ “trust me”
Tell me what I’m supposed to want, tell me what I’m supposed to be
Whole damn world keep sellin’ me a life, but that shit ain’t free.

[Male Rapper Verse]
Smile for the picture, play the part, hit the pose
Keep your head down, keep it movin’, that’s just how it goes
But I been pullin’ at the seams just to see what’s underneath
If the life they call a dream ain’t mine, then why the hell would I believe?

[Male Rapper Bridge]
I ain’t tryna be a puppet
I ain’t tryna play along
If everybody’s singin’ perfect
Maybe that’s what makes it wrong

[hypnotic transition]
So why—
Why—
Why—
Why are we doing this?

[Final Chorus - Duet]
Chasing something that don't exist
Why are we doing this?
I don't want to be like them
I don't want to just pretend
Tell me why are we doing this?

[Outro]
Why are we doing this?
Why are we doing this?
