I don't do it because I want to
I do it because my culture demands it
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because if I don't my family and friends look at me funny
I don't do it because I want to
I do it for the fans
I don't do it because I want to
I do for the money and fame
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because that's the game and I'm just a player
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because that's how it has always been done
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because I don't want to be an outcast
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because deep down am afraid I'll be shunned
I don't do it because I want to
I do because I lack the will to change what I've become
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because we somehow decided collectively this is how it should be done
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because it seems better to part of the flock rather than the black sheep
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because they told me to never deviate from the plan
I don't do it because I want to
I do it because I was raised to never question
