I Wanna Know Lyrics

Here we are in lucky town
We're on our own
No hero's welcome
No flowers thrown
I'm listening to happy talk
Everything is grand
The louder the denial
The more liable the man
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
Are we here to help
Or for other reasons

How'd we get to this place
Where to now from here
War only benefits
Politicians and profiteers
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
Are we here to help
Or for other reasons

Many years from now
When our children ask why
How can we ever explain
The mess we've left behind
Here we are in lucky town
We're on our own
No hero's welcome
No flowers thrown
I wanna know
I wanna know
I wanna know
Are we here to help
Or for other reasons
I wanna know
I wanna know
Are we here to help
