Charlie Watts - Unquestioned Answers lyrics

[Verse 1] Your traps are all baited, your scales are all weighted But not resisting you would surely drive me insane So I'm caught and convicted, my rights are restricted The imbecile dynasty continues to reign [Chorus] Your apathy of thought has led you to believe That things are what they're not, my friend you've been deceived The easiest route rarely leads to the truth I see the self approval glaze your eyes You know you're right, no need to worry why A thousand stones remain unturned In the wake of your unquestioned answers And truth covered lies [Verse 2] Traditions some bear, idly without a care But determined that they stand unchanged And those who choose to rebel just to raise up some hell Tell me, What were you hoping to gain? [Chorus] Your apathy of thought has led you to believe That things are what they're not, my friend you've been deceived The easiest route rarely leads to the truth I see the self approval glaze your eyes You know you're right, no need to worry why A thousand stones remain unturned In the wake of your unquestioned answers And truth covered lies [Verse 3] I can't reason with you, I speak words you can't hear Social conditioning left you with deafened ears So I take your face in hand, see that look in your eyes That rigor mortis stare, that look that I despise And so I turn from you, I walk these streets alone Alone I search for truth, ideal that you've disowned And wait with fingers crossed and pray you'll someday find A way to see things though your own eyes
