Why? Lyrics

Since you were born you watched TV
cartoons with violence and greed
in your world all that was OK
your parents never taught you right
from wrong, brother taught you to fight
Now it's time to show them what you've got
Time to show them what you've got

An attitude, a fancy car
your buddies got your back
your parents' house compared to yours
looks something like a shack
in your thirty seven guns
the bullets painted red
a simple stare is all it takes
to fill 'em up with lead but

Why, are you acting like you're someone else?
Why, can't you stop thinking about yourself

Last friday night you went driving
a stolen car and golden rings
it was something you just had to do
your little friends the cops caught you
you're sentenced for a long time
now tell me what you're gonna do


in a world where no one cares
labels i don't want to wear
i had a dream that i could once walk
safely in the streets
you've got to take it away from me

Why, are you acting like you're someone else?
Why, can't you stop thinking about yourself

Reset is the name of at least four totally different musical groups: one a Canadian punk band, one a Norwegian eurodance group, a Japanese indie rock band, and a Danish post-punk/electro trio. The first three mentioned groups have tracks listed here, but the rest of this article is about the Canadian punk band.

Reset was formed in 1995 in Montreal, Quebec. Originally the band members were Pierre Bouvier, Philippe Jolicoeur, Charles-André "Chuck" Comeau and Jean-Sébastien Boileau. Reset recorded a demo tape : Concerned, in 1995.

Then came the first full length album: No Worries in 1997 recorded at Le Studio Morin-Heights. The band shot a video clip for the single “Why”. In 1999 Reset had a different line up. Pierre was now singing and playing bass, and a new member, Adrian White from Vancouver, joined to play drums with the punk rock band based out of Montreal. In 2000 they released No Limits. This album was recorded in Vancouver BC and was produced by Greg Reely.

Three video clips were filmed for No Limits: Pollution, Pressure, My Dream and I. David Desrosiers replaced Pierre Bouvier in 2001 but only to stay with the band for 6 months, leaving to join Simple Plan, already consisting of two previous band members, Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau.

In 2004, Reset came back with a third album : Radioactive. The album was produced, performed, mixed and mastered by Philippe Jolicoeur. The next year in 2005 RESET has a new line-up with Phil (guitars & vocals) Martin Gendreau (drums) and Claude Plamondon (bass & vocals).

Over the years Reset has participated in five Canadian tours and one American tour,the 2000 Vans Warped Tour in North America. Reset has played with bands such as Greenday, Nofx, Pennywise, Lagwagon, MxPx, Millencolin, Strung Out, Face To Face, Papa Roach, Ten Foot Pole and many more.
