What really goin on here?
We have silenced all our mouths
We’ve got satellites that watch us
Even when we walk around
We got reality TV that tells us what is right from wrong
And we’ve got cell phones to distract us
Even as I sing this song
What’s really goin on here?
Oh I gotta know
Gotta know (x6)
And I wanna know
Wanna know (x4)
What’s really goin on here?
We’ve got poison in our food
We’ve got the companies to thank for
That they’re the ones that think we’re fools
Got a high standard of living
But that’s only for a few
If you forgotten that we’re human
Well that’s what dollar signs will do
What’s really goin on here?
Oh I gotta know
Gotta know (x6)
And I wanna know
Wanna know, wanna know
Just what’s happening, happening here?
And I wanna know (wanna know)
And I gotta know (gotta know)
Just what’s happening, happening here?
(Musical break for 8 measures)
I wanna go back to the 60’s and see how that looked
When kids couldn't sit and talk shit behind they Mac Book
Back when being a musician meant being a musician
Back when cell phones were phones used in prisons
Back before everything needed an answer
Back before everything was causing you cancer
Back before the wheelchair claimed Steven Hawking
Back before text messaging replaced talking
I’m sick of this social media ran culture
There’s no constant and everything’s altered
These cyber assholes attack people like vultures
And laugh like demons approaching the alter
I’m the baddest
Come to relieve sadness
This hatchet couldn't care less about your status
I threw my GPS into oncoming traffic
Decided to start using an atlas
Some people say that they wanna live the life
But forgetting that we’ve gotta live it right
And we don’t look behind what they’re saying
Cause what they’re sayin seems to be alright
Some people say that they wanna live the life
But forgetting that we’ve gotta live it right
So can you tell me just just tell me (Come on)
What’s really goin on here when were workin for a few
Who built a moat around the fortress with the tears of me and you
With the tears of me and lord what can I do?
Yeah lord what can I do behind the tears of me and you?
What’s really goin on here? (Someone tell me)
Oh I gotta know (gotta know x5)
And I wanna know (wanna know wanna know)
Just what’s happening happening here?
And I wanna know (wanna know)
And I gotta know (gotta know),
Just what’s happening happening here?
What’s really goin on here?
Oh I hope we know
