Lyrics The Mavericks

The Mavericks

I Want to Know

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 whether we'll be able to tell

Na na, na na yeah, 6x

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 whether 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 10x
