Bohifale - The Weight of Obligation Lyrics

I don't understand, what is going on
All I know is that, I can never make you happy
I don't understand, what is going on
All I know is that, I can never make you happy
Back when I was young, it used to blow my mind
That people used to say the things that they would keep inside
I'd flip the autopilot, just to keep the peace
But who am I to fight somebody who fulfils a need?
You asking me a question? Not sure I'd understand
Is there an answer you're expecting me to have on hand?
Step up, educate me; Help me understand
What you think it takes for me to be a real man
Do you remember taping songs off the radio?
There'd be a part at the end where the DJ's like
And that was the latest and greatest from somebody
Singing about the fact they used to be famous
But the songs they were singing were the one's that would shape us
Songs we were playing hoping somebody forgave us
Wrong to be thinking they were ones who would place us
Atop a challenge; intimidated to face us
Worked 9 to 5 in a job that I hate
Then I worked 9 to 9, got promoted in the same place
Umpteenth times, putting on a polo
Name badge in my hand, having a smoko
Got mouths to feed? I've got mouths to feed
Got bills to pay? Well, I've got mouths to feed
You've got somebody that's giving you what you need
I've got my duty as the oldest in my family
I don't understand, what is going on
All I know is that, I can never make you happy
I don't understand, what is going on
All I know is that, I can never make you happy

I don't understand, what is going on
All I know is that, I can never make you happy
I don't understand, what is going on
All I know is that, I can never make you happy
Back when I was young, it used to blow my mind
That people used to say the things that they would keep inside
I'd flip the autopilot, just to keep the peace
But who am I to fight somebody who fulfils a need?
You asking me a question? Not sure I'd understand
Is there an answer you're expecting me to have on hand?
Step up, educate me; Help me understand
What you think it takes for me to be a real man
Do you remember taping songs off the radio?
There'd be a part at the end where the DJ's like
And that was the latest and greatest from somebody
Singing about the fact they used to be famous
But the songs they were singing were the one's that would shape us
Songs we were playing hoping somebody forgave us
Wrong to be thinking they were ones who would place us
Atop a challenge; intimidated to face us
Worked 9 to 5 in a job that I hate
Then I worked 9 to 9, got promoted in the same place
Umpteenth times, putting on a polo
Name badge in my hand, having a smoko
Got mouths to feed? I've got mouths to feed
Got bills to pay? Well, I've got mouths to feed
You've got somebody that's giving you what you need
I've got my duty as the oldest in my family
I don't understand, what is going on
All I know is that, I can never make you happy
I don't understand, what is going on
All I know is that, I can never make you happy
