I Want To Know Lyrics

I want to know what promises to keep
I wanna know how guilty people sleep
I wanna know if willows really weep
I wanna know where's my reward to reap?

I wanna know why the devil's not wrung dry
I wanna know why politicians lie
I wanna know why nobody gets high
I wanna know why they don't even try

I wanna know if all you need is love
I wanna know the word from up above
I wanna know what you're thinking of
I wanna know when you have had enough

I wonder why we think we're doing so well
I wonder what time we'll be able to tell

Na, na, na, na, yeah
Na, na, na, na, yeah
Na, na, na, na, yeah

I wanna know what it feels like to be king
I wanna know if children, they don't sing
I wanna know if birds should lose their wings
I wanna know if we do anything

I wanna know how we could makes ends meet
I wanna know when I should stomp my feet
I wanna know why history repeats
I wanna know how you turned out so sweet

I wonder why we think we're doing so well
I wonder what time we'll be able to tell
We're waiting for someone to turn on the light
So we won't be wrong when everything's right?

Na, na, na, na yeah
Na, na, na, na yeah
Na, na, na, na yeah
