We all want peace we don't want misery
So many of us won't let us be these things
But we only are confused
We feel stronger as we grow older
But still we feel bemused

Always asking questions
We're always asking questions

And the temptation is to just step back
Well we give what we lack
We will always be asking questions
Why rich?
Why poor?

Always asking questions
We're always asking questions

Why this?
Why that?
We're always asking questions
Why this?
Why that?
Always asking
Don't stop asking

Don't stop asking questions
Always asking questions

In answer to this question is just shut up
You don't know
I don't know
Nobody knows
This is an answer to every question
This is a place to begin

Always asking questions
Always asking questions

Why this?
Why that?
Why this?
Why that?

Always asking questions
(why this why that?)
Always asking questions
(why this why that?)
Always asking questions
(why this why that?)
