Questions & Answers Songtext

Told you're supposed to
Believe what you've heard
--You sleep well at night
--But it doesn't sound right

(chorus:)
Questions and answers to questions you've asked
From every direction and political mask
Answers and questions to questions you've asked
Is the answer in your future, Present or past?

You know they don't write their own speeches!
Who out of them lives by what he preaches?
Who out of them Is left unemployed?
With whom out of us are they most annoyed?

Bent spun and shaped
And disoriented
How many wrongs
Could the truth have prevented? --You cannot know
--So just do as you're told

They blame corruption
And corporate greed
They say their dead ends
Fulfill higher needs
--They lend the rich a hand
--Because the poor aren't in demand

Who out of them sees a world that can't pay?
Who out of them sees a nonpartisan way?
Who out of them holds the truth as a secret?
Who out of us isn't worthy to see it?
Who out of us isn't worthy to see it?
Who out of us isn't worthy to see it?

Life could be sweeter.
We could be strong
If our governments understood
Right from wrong
--Change the channel
--How much can you handle?
(chorus)

We'd all be safer
If we had the facts
Instead we've been told
To pretend to relax
--But there's still no warning
--And plenty of mourning

Life could be sweeter.
We could be strong
But too many people
Won't sing along…
