Lyrics

Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Talkin' heads are talkin'
But listen to what they say
How they sit in judgement (Hush)
And claim to know the way
If dreams can be dismembered
And our worth be ignored
Need a new direction (Woah)
'Cause this one we can't afford (Woah)
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 ya see
That they just speak at us in riddles?
Woah
Woah
Woah
Woah
Got ourselves in trouble
With no relief in sight
Everyday is such a struggle
Cause they had to pick a fight
How can this be happening? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Can't we do anything?
The peace is the war
The rich are too poor
And they just speak at us in riddles
How can this be
Why can't ya see
That they just speak at us in riddles?
We're stuck right in the middle
Clear skies baby
Healthy forests
No Child Left Behind
Wake up, people
Big Brother is watchin' you
They're takin' all your rights away
Don't claim that you represent me
'Cause I don't believe a word that ya 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 ya see
That they just speak at us in riddles?
Let's see through the riddles
Yeah
Woah
Woah
Woah (As we know, there are known knowns)
There are things we know we know
Woah (We also know there are known unknowns)
That is to say, we know there's some things we do not know
Woah (There are also unknown unknowns)
The ones we don't know we don't know
Woah (And if one looks through the history of our country and other free countries)
Woah (It is the later category that tend to be the difficult ones)
Woah
There's an old saying in Tennessee
I know it's in Texas, probably, Tennessee
That says "Fool me once, shame on, shame on you
Fool me, can't get fooled again"
