Lyrics
I Don't Know The Answer (Written by Kevin McAleenan)
There's somethings in my life
I see - I see it so clear
It's time to reflect
It's time - time to look back
How are you gonna keep your silence?
Who is gonna clean this sewer?
It stinks from top to bottom
Everything is rotten to the core
Chorus
I don't have the answer?
I don't have the cure?
All the limitations
All the frustrations of it all ..... it all ... it all
I don't know the answer
I didn't play their game
I'm feeling pretty sure
Someone knows a whole lot more ... a lot more .. lot more
I know I'm often wrong but this feelin' .......
This feelin' is strong
learn from the past
Make a life .... A life to last
What's wrong with conversation
No alienization
No smoke screens, no lies, no half -truths ....... All devised
Can you find an answer
Or are we doomed to fate?
In the stagnation
There's another generation gonna fall
I don't know the answer
I didn't play their game
I'm feeling pretty sure
Someone knows a whole lot more ... a lot more .. lot more
Chorus
I don't have the answer
I don't have the cure
All the limitations
All the frustrations of it all ..... it all ........ it all
I don't know the answer
I didn't play their game
I'm feeling pretty sure
Someone know s a whole lot more ... a lot more ..... lot more
