Lyrics

Ten years ago when the world looked rather bleak,
I took action and brought us all here.
Warnings ignored had led to panic in the streets,
and all around us was nothing but fear.
It wasn’t easy but I’m sure that you’ll agree,
I kept my promises to you…
(Really, you wanna go there?)

Hey, what more could I do? (Alright…)

We followed you because you said you had a plan
to get us to safety on higher ground.
But now you want to hide the truth
from those you love the most
‘cause you’re afraid you’re gonna let ‘em down.
It can’t be easy to be the one in charge,
but doesn’t everyone deserve the truth?

Hey, what more could I do?
(The seas are rising and you act like it’s nothing?)
Hey, what more could I do?
(You always said the U-Wall would protect us?)
Hey, what more could I do?
(Nature’s a little out of control, so what’s the plan?)
Hey, what more could I do?
(You’re not instilling much confidence here.)

But something has haunted me
ev’ry day for all these years.
My dirty secret, I could tell no one.
But now it feels so much better
to finally tell you the truth,
‘cause it’s no longer, the wall is gone…

What? You’ve got to be kidding me?
Tell me this isn’t true!

Hey, what more could I do?
(So you’ve been lying to us since…)
Hey, what more could I do?
(And when were you gonna tell us this information?)
Hey, what more could I do?
(Because it’s kinda important to our survival.)
Hey, what more could I do?
(Right, it’s always gonna be about you.)
Hey, what more could I do?
(I don’t know how you live with yourself.)
Hey, hey, hey, what more could I do?
