They Don’t Want What We Want (And They Don’t Care) Lyrics
Can you feel your hair standing on the back of your neck?
Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?
(Feel it)
(Feel it)
Something strange going on in this room
The walls are melting, I can hear the ceiling scream in the calm down
I can’t believe we built this room
It was meant to be a sanctuary, not a prison
There’s something strange going on in this house
It’s like I’m pushing all these buttons trying to start a war
Amongst ourselves, but we don’t know what we want
All we know’s that we don’t want what they want
(Hey, hey) What we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
Can you feel your hair standing on the back of your neck?
Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?
Can you feel your bones ache like there’s something within?
Can you feel your blood pumping inside of your skin?
Can you feel it?
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
Can you feel it?
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
There’s something wrong with the castle they’re in
Watching over every single move that we make
Try to see past their perfect smiles
They were supposed to be protectors, not the f------ pressers
There’s something wrong with the way that they speak
Like they’re running their teeth from us to better [?]
Anything to get the power they seek
All I know’s that they don’t want what we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
Can you feel your hair standing on the back of your neck?
Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?
Can you feel your bones ache like there’s something within?
Can you feel your blood pumping inside of your skin?
Can you feel it?
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
Can you feel it?
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
We don’t want what they want
They don’t want what we want
We don’t want what they want
And they don’t care
(Feel it, feel it, feel it)
(Feel it, feel it, feel it)
(Feel it)
(Feel it)
Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?
(Feel it)
The walls are melting, I can hear the ceiling scream in the calm down
I can’t believe we built this room
It was meant to be a sanctuary, not a prison
It’s like I’m pushing all these buttons trying to start a war
Amongst ourselves, but we don’t know what we want
All we know’s that we don’t want what they want
(Hey, hey) What we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?
Can you feel your bones ache like there’s something within?
Can you feel your blood pumping inside of your skin?
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
Can you feel it?
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
Watching over every single move that we make
Try to see past their perfect smiles
They were supposed to be protectors, not the f------ pressers
Like they’re running their teeth from us to better [?]
Anything to get the power they seek
All I know’s that they don’t want what we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
(Hey, hey) What we want
Can you feel your heart beating right out of your chest?
Can you feel your bones ache like there’s something within?
Can you feel your blood pumping inside of your skin?
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
Can you feel it?
Feel it (feel it)
Feel it (feel it)
They don’t want what we want
We don’t want what they want
And they don’t care
(Feel it, feel it, feel it)
(Feel it)

I think this is about how the people in power don't really want what the rest of the world wants as they pretend to. The truth is there's way to self involved & inconsiderate to care about anyone else but themselves.
