Songtexte

Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Talking heads are talking
But listen to what they say
How to sit in judgment (Shh)
And claim to know the way
If dreams can be dismembered
And our words be ignored
Need a new direction
'Cause this one we can't afford
There's bad stuff happening
And no one does a thing
What can I do? What can I say?
When they just speak at us in riddles
How can this be? Why can't you see?
That they just speak at us in riddles
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
We got ourselves in trouble
With no relief in sight
Every day is such a struggle
'Cause they had to pick a fight
How can this be happening?
Can't we do anything?
The pieces of war
The rich are too poor
And they just speak at us in riddles
How can this be? Why can't you see?
That they just speak at us in riddles
Let's stop right in the middle
Clear skies, baby
Healthy forests
No child left behind
Wake up, people
Big Brother is watching you
They're taking all your rights away
Don't claim that you represent me
'Cause I don't believe a word that you say
Yeah
What can I do? What can I say?
When they just speak at us in riddles
How can this be? Why can't you see?
That they just speak at us in riddles
Let's see through the riddles
Yeah
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
Whoa, oh-oh-oh
As we know, there are known knowns. There are things we know we
Know. We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we
Know there are some things we do not know. But there are also
Unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one
Looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries
It is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones
There's an old saying in Tennessee—I know it's in Texas
Probably in Tennessee—that says, "Fool me once, shame
On—shame on you. Fool me, we can't get fooled again"
