What In The Hell Are We Doing

(Verse 1)

Headline news on the glowing screen

Another showdown, another scene

They’re calling votes in the capital city

But passing bills that look more like a pity

Prices are rising, the middle class feels the squeeze

While bureaucrats argue and do just as they please

They say they’re working, making things right

But it’s just partisan brawls from morning to night.

(Chorus)

And I’m watching this, scratching my head

Thinking 'bout the promises that they once said

Deficits growing, the compromise gone

Just pushing the same broken song

With all the chaos, the drama, the ruin

I gotta ask: What are we even doing?

Yeah, I gotta ask: What in the hell are we doing?

(Verse 2)

They’re restructuring agencies, firing the staff

Leaving the public with only a laugh

They’re selling off policies to the highest bidder

While the average citizen just feels a bit bitter

They’re pointing fingers, looking for blame

Just another election in a never-ending game

They say they’re leading, showing the way

But it feels like we’re lost, day after day.

(Chorus)

And I’m watching this, scratching my head

Thinking 'bout the promises that they once said

Deficits growing, the compromise gone

Just pushing the same broken song

With all the chaos, the drama, the ruin

I gotta ask: What are we even doing?

Yeah, I gotta ask: What in the hell are we doing?

(Bridge)

Is this the future they promised to build?

With all the seats in the chambers filled?

They’re talking ’bout crises, foreign and near

But the biggest crisis is happening right here

With common sense dying, and trust in the floor

I honestly don't know what we're aiming for.

(Chorus)

And I’m watching this, scratching my head

Thinking 'bout the promises that they once said

Deficits growing, the compromise gone

Just pushing the same broken song

With all the chaos, the drama, the ruin

I gotta ask: What are we even doing?

Yeah, I gotta ask: What are we even doing?

(Outro)

What are we doing? (What are we doing?)

Is anybody listening? (Is anybody listening?)

Just a little bit of common sense...

What are we even doing?
