《Why Bother》歌词

[00:00:00] Why Bother -Bette Midler

[00:00:00] Oh, human history is a sordid affair.

[00:00:03] Often I say to myself,

[00:00:04] "Oh this is horrible,

[00:00:06] man's inhumanity to man.

[00:00:08] It's just awful, it's..."

[00:00:10] Oh, why bother?

[00:00:11] Why bother, why bother, why bother?

[00:00:23] I try to be rosy,

[00:00:24] I try to be upbeat.

[00:00:26] Life is real, life is earnest,

[00:00:27] sing Polly wolly doodle all day.

[00:00:31] I try to look on the bright side of things and yet,

[00:00:33] when confronted with the truth,

[00:00:34] I have to say,

[00:00:36] Why bother?

[00:00:40] Maybe I'll get a lift.

[00:00:44] Why bother?

[00:00:47] Maybe I'll get a job.

[00:00:50] Why bother?

[00:00:52] Maybe I'll get a new car.

[00:00:55] Why bother?

[00:01:00] Maybe I'll empty an ashtray.

[00:01:08] Why bother?

[00:01:35] Listen to the chump I got.

[00:01:42] Why bother?

[00:01:46] You know, modern painting is supposed to be the panacea for all the ills of modern life,

[00:01:53] and yet everyone still buys the painting that matches the couch.

[00:02:56] Calvin Klein wears his own jeans,

[00:03:01] his own underwear,

[00:03:03] his own cologne.

[00:03:05] I still wouldn't f**k him.

[00:03:07] I said "Calvin, why bother?"

[00:03:51] I have to put a lotta mousse on it to make it look like anything.

[00:04:00] My doctor said I was suffering from "mousse abuse".

[00:05:15] I took a high colonic every day.

[00:05:20] I lost 3 pounds.

[00:05:26] My Enemist said, "Why bother?"

[00:05:48] You ever read the LA Weekly?

[00:05:52] You ever notice how many ads for high colonics they have?
