Riddles

[Intro]

Woah

Woah

Woah

Woah

[Verse 1]

Talkin' heads are talkin'

But listen to what they say

How they sit in judgement (Hush)

And claim to know the way

[Verse 2]

If dreams can be dismembered

And our worth be ignored

Need a new direction (Woah)

'Cause this one we can't afford (Woah)

[Pre-Chorus]

There's bad stuff happening

And no one does a thing

[Chorus]

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?

[Post-Chorus]

Woah

Woah

Woah

Woah

[Verse 3]

Got ourselves in trouble

With no relief in sight

Everyday is such a struggle

Cause they had to pick a fight

[Pre-Chorus]

How can this be happening? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Can't we do anything?

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Clear skies baby

Healthy forests

No Child Left Behind

Wake up, people

[Verse 4]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Post-Chorus]

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"
