Ask me about the weather,
Ask me what I think’s taboo,
Ask me if I would wear leather,
Or who I pray to?
Ask me any question, any day,
Ask me cause you know I’ve always,
Got something to say!
Ask me what I think of friendship,
Ask me how I feel about love,
Ask me my two cents on money,
Or on happiness?
Ask me any question, any day,
Ask me cause you know I’ve always,
Got something to say!
Ask me about blogging, clear cut logging,
Autobahns and black swans,
Michael Jordan, Bob Dylan,
Islam, Viet Nam,
H-bombs and my Mom.
Yeah ask me any question, any day,
Ask me cause you know I’ve always,
Got something to say!
Ask me what I think of people,
Who’s always got something to say,
But who never asks other people,
For what they’ve got to say?
Cause having an opinion, without discussion,
Thinking one is right, day and night,
Is a plan for, fights and war,
Hot heads, bloodshed,
Lost heads and tears shed.
If we discuss our problems, I think we,
Can mutually find the answers that would be,
Good for you and me!
So where do you stand on abortion?
Would you help someone to die?
Would you allow human cloning?
Or take a killer’s life?
Tell me your opinions, so that we
Can mutually find the answers that would be
Good for you and me.
So let’s talk about global warming
Let’s exchange ideas on world peace
Let’s share thoughts about world hunger
And inequality.
Let’s discuss things over, so that we
Can mutually find the answers that would be
Good for you and me…
And all humanity…
And for the world we lease
