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?
