Lyrics
Are we all victims of opportunity
Reflecting on whether we are all products of chance and circumstance
Locked outside the door back in '83
Recalling being excluded or left out in 1983
I heard the angry voice of the man inside
Hearing an angry man's voice from inside a locked place
And saw the look of fear in my mother's eyes
Witnessing fear in the eyes of the speaker's mother
(Go, go)
Expressing a desire to avoid knowing or confronting certain truths
(Go, go)
-(Go, go) I don't wanna know
-(Go, go) I don't wanna know
-Mom, get in the car, and let's drive away
Mother urging to escape, but there's no place to go
She said, "I'm sorry Mark, but there's nowhere to stay"
Mother expressing regret and explaining the lack of options
Gave up all her hope and went back inside
Mother giving up hope and returning indoors
Hid a broken heart and let the engine die
Mother concealing emotional pain while the car stalls
(Go, go)
Reiterating the desire not to know or face certain realities
(Go, go)
-(Go, go) I don't wanna know
-(Go, go) I don't wanna know
-Why do evil men get away with it?
Questioning why morally wrong individuals escape consequences
Can't you see that I'm in a world of shit?
Expressing frustration and feeling trapped in a difficult situation
Turn your back your hope and go back inside
Advising to turn away from hope and return indoors
Stop my bleeding heart and let the engine die
Deciding to stop emotional pain and let go of hope
I don't wanna know
Repeating the refusal to confront or acknowledge certain truths
I don't wanna know
-I don't wanna know
-I don't wanna know
-(Go, go) I don't wanna know
-(Go, go) I don't wanna know
-(Go, go) I don't wanna know
-(Go, go) I don't wanna know
