[Verse 1]
Why can’t you have a little common sense?
Why does the chicken water float up to your head?
Why don’t you listen when they tell you to do right?
Why do you wake up in a cold sweat every night?
Why is it your apartment always looks like shit?
With broken glass and lots of trash but you don’t take care of none of it

[Verse 2]
Why do you think it always ends up like this?
Like life's a joke you’re just taking a piss
Or you think there’s someone else that you can blame?
And every time it ends up playing out the same

[Chorus]
Why don’t you have a little common sense?
Why don’t you have a little common sense?
Why don’t you have a little common sense?

[Verse 3]
Why do the drugs always go right up to my head?
Why can’t I remember the fucked up things I did?
Why do I always end up pissing in my bed?
Why don’t I remember the smart things that I read?
When I was young they told me to stay out of my head
'Make the wrong choices', yeah, and you’ll end up dead
[Chorus]
Why can’t I have a little common sense?
Why don’t I realize that I might end up dead?
Why can’t I have a little common sense?
Why can’t I have a little common sense?

[Chorus]
Why don’t you have a little common sense?
Why don’t you have a little common sense?
Why don’t you have a little common sense?
Why don’t you have a little common sense?
Why don’t you have a little common sense?
Why don’t I have a little common sense?
Why don’t I have a little common sense?
Why don’t I have a little common sense?
