I Wanna Know
Dr. Packer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I only want to know about love
I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
Sometime it gets kinda hard to listen
Hard for me to use my eyes
And all around the gold is glistening
And I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don't want to know one thing about evil
I only want to know about love
I'm waiting for the plains to tumble
Waiting for the towns to fall
I'm waiting for the cities to crumble
Waiting till I hear the call
It's getting kinda hard to listen
Hard for us to use our eyes
All around the gold is glistening
Making sure it keeps us hypnotized
Yeah, I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
Yeah, I don't want to know one thing about evil
I only want to know about love
And I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don't want to know nothing about evil
I only want to know about love
Yeah, I don't want to know about evil
I only want to know about love
I don't want to know one thing about evil
I only want to know about love
