I Don't Know Lyrics

I woke up Monday and I didn't check the news

Hardly seems to matter anymore

I fall so easily into the gloom and doom

My back and shoulders feeling sore

I know that that's just what they want

They jibe and bully, scream and taunt

But what am I supposed to do?

Hey I don't know

I keep on walking in the sun trying to unfurl

How to hold the deep injustice in this world

Hey I don't know

Hey I don't know

I go out wandering in the woods to breathe the air

The eucalyptus dropping leaves

I lay beside an oak and catch it in my stare

I wonder if a forest grieves

For what it feels is yet to come

The planet warming in the sun

And what is there for it to do?

Hey I don't know

I keep on walking in the sun trying to unfurl

How to hold the deep injustice in this world

Hey I don't know

Hey I don't know

And there's nobody on the way to save us

Yeah there's nobody on the way

I watch the evening gather gold into the trees

The clouds turn purple, red, and pink

I know the colors come from ashes on the breeze

But it's still beautiful, I think

I'm gonna keep on making jokes

I'm gonna march with other folks

And try to trust that we'll get through

I guess that's all that we can do

Hey I don't know

I keep on walking in the sun trying to unfurl

How to hold the deep injustice in this world

Hey I don't know

Hey I don't know
