Ask Me No Questions

Ask Me No Questions

 

Ask me no questions for I know nothing

If it’s something about anything

I won’t know what you’re saying

Of course I hear you speak

But I can’t comprehend your message

Even if you break it down

All I hear are sounds

Sounds that are endless

Sounds that are boundless

Sounds which only cloud my mind

You’re searching for answers that I don’t have

I’m avoiding questions that you ask

I keep on telling you that I can’t help you

But you’re persistent like a cop

Trying to get the truth out of a criminal

If there was something I could do

I would have done it

I wouldn’t even hesitate for a moment

You do believe me when I say that, don’t you?

If you don’t, then you don’t

I won’t try to convince you that I‘m an honest person

You can think whatever you want to think

But you can’t do whatever you want to do

It’s not a free country

Nothing is free, so I’ve been told

You ask me: "Should I leave or should I stay?"

I’m thinking: "Didn’t you ask me that yesterday?"

I’ve wasted a lot of time on you

I’ve tried to explain that there’s nothing I can do

I’m not a psychic that can predict your future

I’m not a genie that can grant you three wishes

So ask me no questions for I know nothing
