I Want To Know

The Mavericks

I want to know what promises to keep

I want to know how guilty people sleep

I want to know if willows really weep

I want to know where's my reward to reap

I want to know why the devil's not run dry

I want to know why politicians lie

I want to know why nobody gets high

I want to know why they don't even try

I want to know if all you need is love

I want to know the word from up above

I want to know what you're thinking of

I want to know when you have had enough

I wonder why we think we're doing well

I wonder what time will be able to tell

We're waiting for someone to turn on the light so we won't be wrong about everything right

I want to know what it feels like to be king

I want to know if children they don't sing

I want to know if birds should lose their wing

I want to know if we'd do anything

I want to know how we could make ends meet

I want to know when i should stomp my feet

I want to know why history repeats

I want to know how you turned out so sweet
