Lyrics
Tell me what I want to hear
Words and music by John Ross
A world that lives in fear
You can see them squirm about
Tell me what am I doing here
In a world that lives in fear
A world without love
You can hear them scream and shout
Tell me what am I doing here
In a world that lives without
Tell me what I want to hear
A world that lives in fear
You can see them squirm about
Tell me what am I doing here
In a world that lives in fear
A world without love
You can hear them scream and shout
Tell me what am I doing here
In a world that lives without
Tell me what am I doing here
When all we need is freedom
Yours and mine are dear
Can't we keep our freedom
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I want to hear
If the world has gone insane
And all we have is pain
Tell me what am I doing here
In a world that's gone insane
In this world that we call home
Together were still alone
Tell me what are we doing here
In this world that we call home
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I want to hear
Tell me what I want to hear
