Joan Jett & the Blackhearts Riddles Lyrics Joan Jett & The Blackhearts lyrics

Talkin' heads are talkin'
But listen to what they say
How they sit in judgment
And claim to know the way

If dreams can be dismembered
And our worth can be ignored
Need a new direction
'Cause this one we can't afford

There's bad stuff happening
And no one does a thing

What can I do, what can I say
When they just speak at us in riddles?
How can this be, why can't you see
That they just speak at us in riddles?

We got ourselves in trouble
With no relief in sight
Everyday is such a struggle
'Cause they had to pick a fight

How can this be happening?
Can't we do anything?


The peace is the war, the rich are too poor
An' they just speak at us in riddles
How can this be, why can't you see
That they just speak at us in riddles?
We're stuck right in the middle

Clear skies, baby
Healthy forests
No child left behind
Wake up people

Big brother is watchin' you
They're takin' all your rights away
Don't claim that you represent me
'Cause I don't believe a word that ya say

What can I do, what can I say
When they just speak at us in riddles?
How can this be, why can't you see
That they just speak at us in riddles?

Let's see through the riddles
