Tell me
All the stories you've heard
All the chaos you've stirred
All the bribes you've offered
All the tricks you've mastered
Please tell me why
Please tell me why
You do the things you do
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
All the places you've been
All the horrors you've seen
Concealed by a smokescreen
Always first at the scene
Please tell me why
Please tell me why
You do the things you do
Tell me
Tell me
Tell me
All the lies you've told
All words wrapped in gold
Promises you've broken
All the rings you've stolen
Please tell me why
Please tell me why
You do tThe things you do
Tell me
Tell me
I see
Democracies tumbling
Truth and light dimming
Empires declining
A sun slowly setting
