Blackout Make Out - Don't You Want To Know? I've Got Questions

Friend or mother: Hi Tommy it's me
Why don't you make something a little happier
More poppy, radio friendly or something like that?
Me: ugh...omg
Calls back, gets answering machine
Me: Hey sorry, I know we keep playing phone tag
I just wanted to return the call
(S/) That's a really good idea
I think I'll give a try
Maybe I'll put two chords together and like put some jams together
Why don't you put your headphones on
Turn it up really loud and check this out
Mmm...how's that
Maybe a little beat
And a hook that's going to pull people in

Don't you wanna know
Don't you wanna know
Don't you wanna know
Don't you wanna know
I have questions
I've got questions
This is not why we're here now
This is not why we're here now

I think it's a good idea to question authority
But I also think it's a good idea to question everything
If you think about it
Authority doesn't know shit about why or how we're here
We've spent centuries protecting this game of telephone
Where these loose concepts have been passed down to us
And evolved over the years
And it's hard to tell what any of it means anymore
The majority of society doesn't wake up and think
Oh we need to make more guns and bombs today
We've got money grubbing fools trying to do interplanetary growth
While at the same time, we're at war with ourselves
We're literally at war with ourself
Imagine waking up tomorrow
Looking in the mirror and thinking
You needed to kill that person
You are loved 800-273-8255
We've poisoned the air that we breathe
And depend on for human life
We've poisoned the water
That surrounds our entire planet
We even poison the land that we're living on
We have no respect for the living planet
The living creatures that we share this planet with
The sustainability that's required for our future life
So it's hard to find happiness in anything I do
And yea, I don't give a shit about finding a stupid fucking job
Anyway, I just wanted to call and say happy birthday
And I hope you have an awesome day
I'm sorry I can't be there
I love you so much
I'll talk to you soon, ok

This why I have questions
Don't you wanna know
Don't you wanna know
Don't you wanna know
Don't you wanna know
I have questions
I've got questions
This is not why we're here now
