Don't Ask Songtext
von Ifall

I can′t really remember her name
Some slightly paranoid, overexcited gal
A bustling evening, it was raining
Over an outsider trying to make sense of all

She had a mystery job
It has something to do with the Pharma industry
I'm not so sure that′s strictly legal
Neither is she, push the subject away

Such a big city
Shiny towers, luxurious cars
A giant slice of the financial pie
Exciting, amazing, charming

Fight for a spot in the game
Pricey custom suits, Mr. last name
Lucky to be overpaid
Good citizens, social club denizens


Fit and recycling their trash
Rushing around glassy halls speaking in acronyms
Business jargon, activated carbon
Intermittent fasting, forex forecasting

Somehow they are so many
So secretive, dressed up, so fancy
Always up to date with the news
Super nice as long as you...

Don't ask, don't ask
You don′t want to make them think
Don′t ask, don't ask
You don′t want them angry

Bob's a real estate agent
Pushing a worthless shanty to Corrine
A ghost writer approving crap
Placebos for grannies with arthritis

Linda′s a mortgage handler
Commissioning subprime candidates
Splurging her bonus with Steve
Who's laundering profits from blackmail


In the big city
Shiny towers, luxurious cars
Bank accounts reaching for the sky
Exciting, amazing as long as you

Don′t ask, don't ask
You don't want to make them lie
Don′t ask, don′t ask
You don't want to make them shy

Somehow they are so many
Disconnected, counting our pennies
White people sailing the seas
With funny time-traveling money
So please

Don′t ask
You don't want to spoil the fun
Don′t ask
Who lost while they won
