Why Do I Bother?

This song has been running around in my head for a few weeks now and it took me a while to remember who it was. [tag]Alan Parsons[/tag] is probably one of the strangest artists/producers/engineers in the music business. This video from the 70’s confirms it. Inexplicably, It seems to be loosely based on “[tag]I Robot[/tag]“, the book by Isaac Asimov.

I love this song and I can think of a few people in my past who I would love to send the lyrics (or at least a similar sentiment) to in a letter. I’ve included the lyrics below. Enjoy the video.

Lead vocal: lenny zakatek

If I had a mind to
I wouldnt want to think like you
And if I had time to
I wouldnt want to talk to you

I dont care
What you do
I wouldnt want to be like you

If I was high class
I wouldnt need a buck to pass
And if I was a fall guy
I wouldnt need no alibi

I dont care
What you do
I wouldnt want to be like you

Back on the bottom line
Diggin for a lousy dime
If I hit a mother lode
Id cover anything that showed

I dont care
What you do
I wouldnt want to be like you
