lyrics

WILL I FEEL LIKE THIS THE REST OF MY LIFE? WILL I GROW UP AND HAVE THREE KIDS AND WIFE, IN A SMALL HOUSE IN A SMALL TOWN? WILL I THINK THINGS THROUGH AS MUCH AS I DO NOW? WILL I WORK REAL HARD OR JUST LAY AROUND; LIVE A FAST LIFE IN A SHORT TIME?
I WANNA KNOW, ‘CAUSE I’D LIKE TO BE PREPARED. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE’RE DOING HERE.
WILL I DIE SO YOUNG THEY CALL IT PREMATURE, WITH NOTEBOOKS IN HAND, ALL CONFUSED AND UNSURE ABOUT WHAT LIFE MEANS (IF ANYTHING)? AND AT MY FUNERAL WILL YOU ALL CRY A LOT? BURY ME SIX FEET DEEP WITH EVERYTHING I BOUGHT, SO THAT WHEN I’M GONE I’LL KNOW WHAT I WAS?
I WANNA KNOW ‘CAUSE I’D LIKE TO BE PREPARED. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE’RE DOING HERE.
WILL I ALWAYS HAVE A GIRL TO HOLD MY HAND, CALL ME ‘BRUCE WAYNE,’ MAKE ME FEEL LIKE BATMAN? OR BE A COWARD, NO SUPER POWERS? WILL I DO THE MATH, FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT? WILL I WHIPSER IT, OR WILL I SHOUT WITH ALL OF MY BREATH ALL THAT I CONFESS?
I WANNA KNOW ‘CAUSE I’D LIKE TO BE PREPARED. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT WE’RE DOING HERE.
