What Do We Know Lyrics

What Do We Know lyrics

Since the first days

Of mankind's existence

We have spent most of the time

Searching for answers

To all of the questions

Going around in our minds



What do we know

About the plans life makes for us

What do we know

About what we really are

What do we know



Now and then

There were people pretending

They had all the answers in store

Prophets, magicians

Experts and politicians

What were they ever good for



How could they know

What tomorrow holds for us

What do they know

That we don't know ourselves



Bring on all those experts

Let them show what they have got

Until we come to the conclusion

It is better they shut up



Hot air is all they can offer

Their empty hands have nothing to show

Hot air packed in technical terms

To explain what they don't know



Expert predictions

We all used to trust

Have led us into more than one mess

To me there's just one

Logical explanation

In fact they're just making a guess



How could they know

What tomorrow holds for us

What do they know

That we don't know ourselves



Bring on all those experts

Let them show what they have got

Until we come to the conclusion

It is better they shut up



Hot air is all they can offer

Their empty hands have nothing to show

Hot air packed in technical terms

To explain what they don't know



Can you imagine

Living in a world without mysteries

How would that feel

All I can say is

I honestly hope

Some secrets remain unrevealed



What do we know

About the plans life makes for us

What do we know

About what we really are

What do we know
