Lyrics
What good's an answer that no one will ask for
Questioning the value of providing answers that nobody is seeking
Since you're doing what you're told
Observing compliance with instructions, possibly implying conformity
Then why won't you ask for more
Raising the question of why individuals don't demand more than just following orders
'Cause it's no coincidence the interested will have their way
Suggesting that those who are interested or influential tend to get their way
Toppling what would stand again and again
Highlighting a pattern of overthrowing established structures repeatedly
I'm nursing this hangover, Post Election Day
Expressing a feeling of discomfort or regret after Election Day
And taking this walk of shame
Acknowledging a sense of shame or regret in the aftermath of the election
As it seems that no answer from above
Noticing a lack of satisfactory answers from higher authorities
Will satisfy the mob's
Implying that the populace is not content with the responses from those in power
Complicity in all insistent
Addressing complicity and collaboration in persistent issues
Neutrality betrayed
Pointing out a betrayal of neutrality, suggesting bias or lack of impartiality
Each of us the day we went about our way
Reflecting on individual responsibility on the day they went about their routine
Who'd want to give what we've taken as granted
Questioning the willingness to give up privileges taken for granted
On the backs of better men
Highlighting the exploitation of the efforts of better individuals
We're twisting intention
Noting a distortion of original intentions or motives
Now do you truly believe it, that this course will sustain
Posing a doubt about the sustainability of the current path or direction
Confront or deny what lies in front of your face
Encouraging a choice between facing or denying the challenges ahead
This new state of nation, come Post Election Day
Describing a new national condition post-election
Inaugurate your fear and rage
Calling for the acknowledgment and expression of fear and anger
As it seems that no answer from above
Reiterating the absence of satisfying answers from authoritative figures
Will satisfy the mob's
Emphasizing the discontent of the masses with the responses from those in power
Complicity in all insistent
Revisiting the theme of collaboration in persistent issues
Neutrality betrayed
Reiterating the idea of a betrayal of neutrality, potentially highlighting a lack of fairness
Each of us the day we went about our way
Reflecting on individual responsibility on the day they went about their routine
