I don't know why things are like they are We've come so far but we are back at the start We are fighting wars no one can win And looking for a different outcome in the end What's the point What's the point You can't eat a ghost and you can't tame a lion You can't find gold but you keep on trying There's nothing but rust here There's nothing but dust here You can't give back what you've been given Oh oh oh oh You can have a heart attack and keep on living You can put your foot in your mouth and be forgiven I think it's all connected the need for love and acceptance Its not my directive to explain it What's the point What's the point You can't eat a ghost and you can't tame a lion You can't find gold but you keep on trying There's nothing but rust here There's nothing but dust here You can't give back what you've been given You can't eat a ghost and you can't tame a lion You can't find gold but you keep on trying You can't eat a ghost and you can't tame a lion You can't find gold but you keep on trying There's nothing but rust here There's nothing but dust here You can't give back what you've been given Oh oh oh oh
