The Answers

September 6, 1998

Someone there’s no key to
getting answers for this now

Sometimes you kick and you
scream
for information
and no one
will give you any help and you’ll

have no place to turn

That’s what
the world is like, you know

just in case you hadn’t figured
it all out and in case you were
still looking for someone to help you
save the day and magically make

everything turn better

I don’t
know how all those magician
people make everything
better, instantly, unless it’s
all just one big hoax provided
by television tricks and the like
