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
