Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I woke up on the shoulder
Of a road I didn't know;
Had a pocket full of questions
And a mind that's movin' slow.
I asked a friendly stranger
If he knew the way for me—
He just laughed and tipped his hat and said,
"Man… where the heck are we?"
[Verse 2]
My map was drawn in crayon,
And the colors didn't match;
The sky was hummin' softly
Like a half-forgotten patch.
I tried to read the sunrise
Like a cosmic marquee—
But all it spelled was,
"Buddy… where the heck are we?"
[Chorus]
Where the heck are we,
And how'd we get this far?
Feels like we've been drivin' blind
In someone else's car.
Where the heck are we,
And what's the plan supposed to be?
I'm just tryin' to keep my balance
And not lose democracy.
[Verse 3]
Now the winds are full of voices
Sayin' things I can't decode;
And every sign is pointin'
Down a different kind of road.
I hear folks talkin' loudly
'Bout the way it ought to be—
But nobody seems to know,
Man… where the heck are we?
[Chorus]
Where the heck are we,
And how'd we get this far?
Feels like we've been drivin' blind
In someone else's car.
Where the heck are we,
And what's the plan supposed to be?
I'm just tryin' to keep my balance
And not lose democracy.
[Bridge]
Maybe someday we'll remember
How the compass used to spin;
Till then we keep on walkin'
With the sun and moon as kin.
[Final Chorus]
Where the heck are we,
And how'd we get this far?
Feels like we've been driftin' round
Beneath a wayward star.
Where the heck are we,
And what's the plan supposed to be?
Guess we'll find our way together
Through this wild democracy.
