[Verse 1]

I put on a movie tonight

It's easier to watch a war than look outside the window

Do you think they always knew

That everything would end so soon for them

'Cause a sniper thought it right

I'm tired (tiny violin)

We've never been so wired up

Shake shake

[Chorus]

Magic 8 ball, tell me truly

Is this brick road one that leads me right

I can't sleep, I keep asking

Why I'm too weak to move mountains

Magic 8 ball, tell me right now

How to fix this big world somehow

I don't even know the questions to ask

Is a good intention enough?

[Verse 2]

Will I be on the screen someday?

Will I marry a white knight?

Why did that question seem so crucial?

When I should have been asking why

All the knights and horses

Are always fucking white

[Pre-Chorus]

Please excuse my language

I know I need to be well-spoken and pretty

My skin already sets me back a couple hundred feet

Wait, let me try again

Shake shake

[Chorus]

Magic 8 ball, tell me truly

Is this brick road one that leads me right

I can't sleep, I keep asking

Why I'm too weak to move mountains

Magic 8 ball, tell me right now

How to fix this big world somehow

I don't even know the questions

To ask is a good intention

[Bridge]

Enough, cos the world is spinning

Off its axis and I'm gripping less

It is cos it's too much

Or have I simply had enough

Oh, why do fat cats get away with

Sitting in thrones with their playthings

Pitting us against each other

With weapons we never asked for

Why do townfolk find a need to

Hunt a witch when we could be

A good team, if we simply let

Each other do what we do best

[Outro]

Oh, why do bad guys always win

While heroes struggle climbing mountains

I can't sleep cos I keep asking

What it means to do the right thing
