Answer Lyrics by The Ataris

Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits

1999

I sat and thought the other day how it seems strange
That we could walk through life so blind
And how a lot of people never change

I'm not trying to say I have the answer
All I know for sure is that we weren't put here
To serve ourselves, that's so selfish
To think that we're put on this earth just for pleasure
I know that there's much more than that

But I won't tell you what it is; it's up to you
To decide for yourself what is wrong and what is right
And know that we all make mistakes, there's always time
To turn your life around and change
All the wrong decisions that you've made

I'm not trying to say I have the answer
All I know for sure is that we weren't put here
To serve ourselves, that's so selfish
To think that we're put on this earth just for pleasure
I know that there's much more than that

And I promise that I won't settle for less

I won't write it
I won't write it
I won't write it
I won't write it
I won't write it
I won't write it
I won't write it
I won't write it
I won't write it
I won't write it off
