I Don't Want an Answer to That
by Ross Durand

Why are we here?
What is the meaning of life?
Why does God allow suffering?
Why does God allow strife?
So many questions we banter to and fro
What we need more of is science
To answer things we can know

Like what’s the speed of light?
What’s the great red spot?
What medicine to take for the germ that I’ve got
But it can’t tell us everything
Like why you left
But I’m pretty sure
That I don’t want an answer to that

What is the nature of love?
Is man inherently evil?
Is any team on Earth gonna hire Tim Tebow?
People love to wax philosophy
What we need more of is science
For the answers we can see

Like what’s the speed of light?
What’s the great red spot?
What medicine to take for the germ that I’ve got
But it can’t tell us everything
Like why you left
But I’m pretty sure
That I don’t want an answer to that

Why am I all alone?
And who are you with now?
Do you still smell like jasmine
With him on that couch.
What good are these questions
I feel compelled to ask
What we need more of is science
To keep us on the facts

Like what’s the speed of light?
What’s the great red spot?
What medicine to take for the germ that I’ve got
But it can’t tell us everything
Like why you left
But I’m pretty sure
That I don’t want an answer to that

Chorus is pretty catchy. The rest of the song is a bit meat and potatoes.

The mix/master is a little hot, especially that lead guitar. Your lyrics are interesting and well-done, but I'm not sure I agree with their premise. Some of the best songs are the ones that attempt to tackle the "unanswerable" questions. This seems like a debate with The New Radicals' "Someday We'll Know," and you're not on the winning side of the argument. Anyway, the instrumentation and performance here are all pretty flawless, which is why my whole review is nitpicking your lyrics. Also, what was up with that surprise jab at Tim Tebow? Take that, Tebow!
