What matters?

Graham Parker "Don't Ask Me Questions"


Crimson autograph
Is what we leave behind
Everywhere, where that man set foot, yeah
A warmonger's laughin' loud
Behind a painted face
Throwing titbits to the crowd then
Blowin' up the place
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Please
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, ain't no answer in me
Well, I stand up for liberty
But I can't liberate
And pent up agony
I see you take first place
Well, who does this treachery
I shout with bleedin' hands
Is it you or is it me, well
I never will understand
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Please, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, ain't no answer in me
Who waves his mighty hands
And breaks the precious rules
Well the same one got to understand
Who wasted all these fools
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Please, no, no, no, no, no, no
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, don't ask me questions
Hey Lord, ain't no answer in me, yeah
Ain't no answer in me, no
Ain't no answer in me
Oh no, oh no
Ain't no answer, ain't no answer, no answer in me
Ain't no answer, ain't no answer, no answer in me
Ain't no answer, ain't no answer, no answer in me




It didn't matter anyway
We'll meet again some other day
'til then keep well
You'll be in my dreams
Goodnight, goodbye, bye for now

The time has come to leave you
Please don't feel alone
For now that we've met
There'll be a way to reach you and say "Never mind"

It didn't matter anyway
We'll meet again some other day
Till then keep well
You'll be in my dreams
Goodnight, goodbye, bye for now
