Nick Cave vs John Pulzer What We Doing Here

[Intro Spoken) Fundamentally, we are all just spectators but who can! and who wants to, see that? [Verse 1] We got clean water, gold skies, but we chase cold metal dreams. We take the sky for a trophy, and leave crumbs for the streets. Kids with empty bowls in daylight, still we call this progress too. How many hands stay hungry while the bill gets signed by you? [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what we call good when good gets bought and sold. Tell me who gets left out when the gates all swing closed. [Chorus] What are we actually doing here? What are we actually doing here? (what are we doing here?) If some have plenty, why do some disappear? What are we actually doing here? [Verse 2] We poison waves for profit, just to save a little coin. We stack up weapons in silence, then act shocked when the world won’t join. We fear the mind we made, like it came to steal the sun. But it’s just our own reflection, asking what we’ve become. [Pre-Chorus] Tell me what we call justice when the scales lean so far. Tell me why the poor still bleed while the rich keep every star. [Chorus] What are we actually doing here? What are we actually doing here? (what are we doing here?) If some have plenty, why do some disappear? What are we actually doing here? [Bridge] Maybe love is the answer we keep refusing to grow. Maybe the next great future starts when we let go. Not to own it. Not to burn it. Not to win. Just to share it. [Verse 3 hard arpeggiato drop] We got bread on the table And hunger on the street We chase silver planets While a child has no meat We call it progress When the billboards glow But a clinic stays empty And the river runs slow [Pre-Chorus 2 break beat part] Tell me what we chose When we looked away Tell me who gets fed By the price we pay Some have too much Some have none Tell me how that is Justice done [Chorus] What are we actually doing here? What are we actually doing here? (what are we doing here?) If some have plenty, why do some disappear? What are we actually doing here? [Verse 4 hard synti drop] We dump poison in blue water 'Cause the shortcut costs less We stack fire in vaults Like a game of conquest And we fear the new mind Like it's coming to take When it only reflects us In the choices we make [Final Chorus] What are we actually doing here? What are we actually doing here? (what are we doing here?) If some have plenty, why do some disappear? What are we actually doing here? Ask yourself that here. What are we actually doing here? (what are we doing here?) What are we actually doing here? (what are we doing here?)
