about

The questioning continues in the Randy Newman-esque Do You Wonder Why. Opening with the line," I see the world get worse each week / You can’t deny it looks quite bleak", it implores us to try not to worry about unfolding history we can have no influence on or control over.

lyrics

I see the world get worse each week,
You can't deny it looks quite bleak,
You've got big men with big guns who justify with double-speak.
Still I keep smiling – Do you wonder why?

I talk to people every day,
You won't believe the things they say,
They've got big mouths and big heads but act like little children at play.
Still I keep smiling – Do you wonder why?

Chorus:
Mother Nature's got an ace up her sleeve,
Surprises that we just can't conceive,
The dinosaurs got no reprieve,
No need to make a fuss – it's all so much bigger than us...

Instrumental

They say that's just the way it goes.
You all could fall like dominoes.
We've got big plans and big deals with propaganda videos.
Still I keep smiling – Do you wonder why?

Chorus ( twice )
