Lyrics
Answer me
Expression of a desire for a response or explanation.
Why won't you answer me
Reiteration of the request for an answer, indicating frustration.
I can't recall the day that I last heard from you
Reflecting on the absence of communication, unable to remember the last contact.
Well you don't get a town like this for nothing
Suggesting that the town or situation has significance and is not easily acquired.
So here's what you've got to do
Advising on a course of action in response to the unique circumstances.
You work your way to the top of the world
Encouraging the listener to strive for success and dominance.
Then you break your life in two
Warning about the potential personal cost of achieving success.
Well what's the use in complaining
Raising a rhetorical question about the usefulness of complaining.
When you've got what you don't need
Highlighting the irony of possessing unnecessary things and still complaining.
Anyone would think you were hard done to
Observing that the person seems to act as if they have suffered unjustly.
What do you want me to believe
Challenging the credibility of the listener's beliefs or statements.
What the hell is happening
Expressing confusion or frustration about an unclear situation.
I can't think of everything
Admitting inability to handle everything, acknowledging limitations.
I don't know what day it is
Conveying disorientation or a loss of awareness of time.
Or who I'm talking to
Indicating a state of confusion regarding the present conversation.
But I know that I'm ok
Asserting a sense of well-being despite the overall confusion.
'Cause you're here with me today
Attributing the sense of okayness to the presence of someone else.
I haven't got a single problem
Claiming to be free of problems while in the company of the mentioned person.
Now that I'm with you
Expressing contentment and a lack of issues due to the current companionship.
So what's the use in complaining
Reiterating the rhetorical question about the utility of complaining.
When you've got everything you need
Pointing out the irony of complaining when one has everything needed.
Anyone would think you were hard done to
Observing that the person seems to act as if they have suffered unjustly, again.
What do you want me to believe
Repeating the challenge to the credibility of the listener's beliefs or statements.
