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
