lyrics

Do you know what you want?

Everything is connected so they say
they might be right, they might be wrong
it's a done deal anyway
Everything is infected with a doubt
the certainties that once we knew
are beyond our view for now

don't know where we're going
can't see 'round the bend
but then the journey is the end
and how we've come so far

but do you know what you want?
you only know what you don't
do we know where we go from here?
we can't agree on this at all
and when Jerico comes tumbling down
do you know even who you are?
and what will you do when you hold the crown?

Everyone is dejected with the lies
the sweetest dreams that turned so sour
that we'd long believed were ours

Think you know what the score is
following the trend
but then the journey is the end
and how we come so far

but do you know what you want?
you only know what you don't
do we know where we go from here?
we can't agree on this at all
When the crowd has brought the statue down
do they know even who they are
and what will they do when they take the town?

Blow the trumpet - crash the moon into the the sun
Smash the tyrant, now the spell has been undone
watch the power flow across the land
Push the button, push right through the storm
Pull the trigger, you're just getting warm
feel the power flow into your hands

When the last man falls and the flag's torn down
do you know even who you are
and what will you do when you hold the crown?

but do you know what you want?
you only know what you don't
do we know where we go from here?
we can't agree on this at all
and when Jerico comes tumbling down
do we know even who we are
and what will we do when we hold the crown?

Everything is connected so they say
they might be right, they might be wrong
it's a done deal anyway
