What (Remastered)
Another question-word song, built on cause and effect. It's me reminding myself that nobody does anything without a reason, me included, even when we can't name it. Look for the cause before judging the effect.
There are effects and there are causes
Important thing to take some pauses
In your day to know what's what
Think why others tell you stuff
Everyone's got secret motives
Some so secret they aren't knowing
Why they do what they do
Everyone starts that way too
Some have altruistic goals
Others laying trap like holes
In your path so you fall down
If you're bad, they're better all around
There are effects and there are causes
Important thing to take some pauses
In your day to know what's what
Think why others tell you stuff
That seems simple, I hear you say
From the trappers, just stay away
But it takes time to know what someone means
First impression not always what they seem
Life's more complex than good or bad
Everyone's been glad and sad
Some things you choose to forget
Some are scars forever left
There are effects and there are causes
Important thing to take some pauses
In your day to know what's what
Think why others tell you stuff
Other people have that too
It's not always about you
If you can look outside yourself
Put your ego on a shelf
Life's more complex than good or bad
Everyone's been glad and sad
Some things you choose to forget
Some are scars forever left
There are effects and there are causes
Important thing to take some pauses
In your day to know what's what
Think why others tell you stuff
Learn to think, and learn to feel
Learn to see, to know what's real
Most things other people do
Don't really cause harm to you
The worst thing I've come across
Is people who act like they're lost
Take advantage of your help
Then stab you in the back to death
There are effects and there are causes
Important thing to take some pauses
In your day to know what's what
Think why others tell you stuff
Ask yourself, for anyone
Are their motives very fun
What's the risk versus reward
Let some in, the rest, a sword
Tolerance seems right at first
Give them space, make folks feel heard
Next thing, there goes the neighborhood
When what's spoken isn't good
There are effects and there are causes
Important thing to take some pauses
In your day to know what's what
Think why others tell you stuff
Some differences unreconcilable
Sometimes, it's down to survival
Is it wrong to choose yourself
And choose not to march to death?
Choose not to march to death
Choose not to march to death
Choose not to march to death
There are effects and there are causes
Important thing to take some pauses
In your day to know what's what
Think why others tell you stuff
Life's more complex than good or bad
Everyone's been glad and sad
Some things you choose to forget
Some are scars forever left
There are effects and there are causes
Important thing to take some pauses
In your day to know what's what
Think why others tell you stuff
Choose not to march to death
There are effects and there are causes
Important thing to take some pauses
In your day to know what's what
Think why others tell you stuff
Learn to think, and learn to feel
It’s not always about who’s side
Sometimes it’s down to survival
Is it wrong to choose yourself?
And choose not to march to death?
Choose not to march to death
