The people come from all around
And lay their precious money down
Satisfaction, guaranteed
No distractions, all you need
Spend a weekend in paradise

Try this on, it´s very nice
You´re having fun
Stick around and we´ll sell you the sun

And soon ya learn to play the game
Ya lose ya win it´s all the same
Catch your dream before it fades
And join the endless masquerade
Where pain relievers speak to you
A make believers dream come true
You learn so well
No one not even you can tell

CHORUS
But I really wanna know
But I really wanna know
But I really wanna know

And I´ve got no choice
Can ya tell me, what´s goin´ on

Now every game begins and ends
And though the player still pretends
In mausoleums, on painted walls
The tale of those who´d have it all
The slave of glory´s lost demands
To always leave with empty hands
The conqueror
Tell me what have you come here for

CHORUS

This life it is your only friend

It´s whispered in your ear
In a voice it seems like ages
You´ve been waiting so long just to hear
And suddenly the mystery, and
Meaning become so clear
Hold on yesterday´s gone

CHORUS
Oh, I really wanna know
I really wanna know
I really wanna know
I really wanna know
And I´ve got no choice
Can you tell me, what´s goin´ on
