Phil Gawen - I Don't Know Lyrics

I don't know, I just don't know
You ask me why, I answer with lies
I'd make a decision, instead I just hide
I'd cut an incision, when I want to survive

And I don't know, I don't know why
My eyes are wet and my hands are dry
The scenery and machinery
Can't comprehend and I don't want to pretend

A season brings changes on magazine pages
See what his new, is it new to you?
I haven't the faintest idea what it's all about
TV turned sour, their images devour my soul

I don't know, I just don't know
Give me a reason to be as cold
Changes are relevant, sometimes perverse
I can't accept this tyrant's mess

They're doing my head, my tummy they fed
With empty truth, how do you get by?
And life goes on, oh, with things left undone
The chip on my shoulder, it weighs a ton

Down with the thunder, down the rain falls
Down on my head, with a pitiful slam
Tarred and feathered, it's now or never
Got to pack my luggage and be what I'll be

Into the jungle, it's dark out there
I can't see light, there is no one there
To take care of me, to take care of you
If that's what it's all about, then I just don't know

Times are tough, and I've had enough
Cannot change the world, can't change myself
I'll be what I'll be, if you let me be
But I won't accept this tyrant's mess

When they laugh in my face, ha, ha, ha, ha
From one step above, ha, ha, ha, ha
Somehow somewhere, the taste of home
