Aren’t You a Little Curious?

[Verse 1] They said “Case closed” Stamped it in gray ink Folded you into a headline Then buried the page Talking heads talk Change up the subject Joke till the laughter Feels a little staged [Chorus] Aren’t you a little curious? Why the files stay locked so tight Names in the dark like loaded dice Shuffled out of sight Aren’t you a little curious? When both sides suddenly agree On what you’re never meant to see [Verse 2] You scroll past The same three phrases “Out of respect” “National risk” “Trust us” Power shakes hands Over backroom coffee Strange how the rivals Share the same hush [Chorus] Aren’t you a little curious? Why the files stay locked so tight Names in the dark like loaded dice Shuffled out of sight Aren’t you a little curious? When both sides suddenly agree On what you’re never meant to see [Bridge] Is it fear? Is it favor? Is it secrets Stacked on paper? If truth is clean Why bleach the stains? Why guard a ghost Like it still has fangs? [Chorus] Aren’t you a little curious? Why the files stay locked so tight Names in the dark like loaded dice Shuffled out of sight Aren’t you a little curious? Whose hands tremble at that key? What story’s drowning Under all that secrecy?
