| I won’t tell the truth just to keep from tellin' lies |
| I’m not gonna live just 'cause I’m afraid to die |
| I don’t want to pray just so I won’t go to Hell |
| Not gonna take 'cause I can’t help myself |
| I don’t wanna push just to keep from bein' shoved |
| Oh no, oh no |
| That ain’t reason, that ain’t reason |
| That ain’t reason enough |
| I don’t want to stay just cause I don’t have to leave |
| Don’t to play it safe just so I won’t ever bleed |
| I ain’t gonna walk just 'cause I don’t like to crawl |
| Ain’t gonna talk 'cause I’m up against the wall |
| I’m not gonna love just so I won’t be alone |
| Oh no, oh no |
| That ain’t reason, that ain’t reason |
| That ain’t reason enough |
| Bones up in the attic, secrets in my bed |
| Voices in the static rattlin' in my head |
| It’s a party-line tonight, hear 'em talkin' trash |
| See the beast of burden got a monkey on his back |
| High beams in the rear-view, rain out on the street |
| All these things I carry with me, miles to go before I sleep |
| There’s the devil that you don’t know |
| And the devil that you do |
| The lesser of these evils — I don’t wanna choose |
| That ain’t reason, that ain’t reason |
| That ain’t reason enough |
