lyrics

People just believe what's going on, even if they think it's
wrong. They just keep going along and conform.
A pawn once they're born, looking for a place to
belong yet forlorn. Stay calm don't mourn and
focus and listen like you're in the lotus position and
holding a prism that's refracting what you're re-
flecting exactly what you're as you're expecting, un-
masking what you're protecting without asking.
And there will always be an unknown, but as
long as you can come home, you can at least
go back to you're beliefs. But instead people think
they can hide and it's weak. But I think it's time
that we find a tweak. As long as I can speak,
I have a suggestion: ask every question you can
as long as you exist in this land.
It isn't a demand, but it is a good plan (don't you think?)

All I want is to ask a question
about a world that I do not know.
Whatchu hide? Let me see inside
of the status quo or it has to go.
All I want is to ask a question
about a world that I do not know.
Whatchu hide? Let me see inside
of the status quo or it has to go.

Well, maybe not, 'cause it has its place,
but, "State-of-affairs", let me make a case:
Don't erase evidence or attempt escape
or misrepresent what I estimate.
I conform to norms & support the facts,
but enough of that, it won't justify
an ideology perpetuated by
animals who claim they're “civilized”!
Hypocritical individuals
afraid to debate and they're frail and pitiful.
I hate to be cynical, but listen to me.
There's a whole wide world, fam, didn't you see?
Well eventually, if you open your brain.
Accept information, let go of the shame.
I know it's a pain but I'm saving you time.
I'm doing the same and I'm fine (get it?)

All I want is to ask a question
about a world that I do not know.
Whatchu hide? Let me see inside
of the status quo or it has to go.
All I want is to ask a question
about a world that I do not know.
Whatchu hide? Let me see inside
of the status quo or it has to go.

Some people weird, some people cool
Some people fear, some people hate
Some people steal, some people buy
Some people real, some people fake

All I want is to ask a question
about a world that I do not know.
Whatchu hide? Let me see inside
of the status quo or it has to go.
