The Answer from Reconcilable Differences by Heathen Eve

All I want is just to know if there’s a plan
or if the ozone layer and surface tension
are just your inventions as you’re drifting off to sleep
And your mind is drifting somewhere else entirely
You and I don’t want to be the first to ask the question
Cuz the answer’s gonna turn us into fools

How will we fill our minds when we find those lines were just a waste of time?
Except the line we can recite
but we still won’t learn the lesson:
That wise men don’t answer in facts
they answer in questions

It’s just a name: determination or complacency
But let’s just face it
we all hate our money wasted
so why did we go and place it
in one basket, never asked if
winning here was even worth it.
It wouldn’t take much to unearth it
but what could be worse than if
the answer turned us all into fools

I’ve put my sign a thousand times
On that dotted line but I’m
worried that it might be a mistake
It’s just begun to sink in
that that permanent black ink ain’t quite as permanent as I might like to think

Well I don’t believe in anarchy
but sometimes it just seems to me
that that might be a better place to start:
a state of mind, a state of heart
That leaves you desperate
(or at the least just full of *it)
with no sense of direction, just the guts to ask the question
and let the answer turn you into a fool
