	Story Behind the Song The music for this song was written a little less than a year ago, when we had a different singer. When Jason joined the band he re-wrote the lyrics to some of our songs and this is one of them. It was actually written a couple of weeks before the trade centers attack so there is no relation. It is based on the cold war and the truth about atomic testing and how it has affected the people in the surrounding towns. That is where the phrase "please tell me what I need to know" came from it explains how the affects of atomic testing destroyed many small communities that where plagued with sickness and how the government would not admit their mistakes. Lyrics Please tell me what I need to know Please tell me what I need to know Please tell me what I need to know Please tell me what I need……….. It seems like yesterday that I pulled a chair up to the window I looked to see that there was Nothing left……. The light was so bright It burned all around It burned from inside It keeps burning me down What have I done I let them tell me I was wrong What have I done I let them destroy my sacred home The trees they burned down The rivers drained and dried The children’s screams were silenced By all the noise inside My head is pounding From all the pain I have caused My head is pounding From what I new was wrong It seems like yesterday that I pulled a chair up to the window I looked to see that there was Nothing left……. The light was so bright It burned all around It burned from inside It keeps burning me down What have I done I let them tell me I was wrong What have I done I let them destroy my sacred home God please tell me what I need to know God please tell me what I need to know God please tell me what I need to know God please tell me what I need……….. (2) Some they say this day would come but I don’t believe it was me that let them know our fears were inside And some they say this day would come but I don’t believe it was me that let them know our fears would divide Some they say this day would come but I don’t believe……..I don’t believe it was me Please tell me what I need to Please tell me what I need to Please tell me what I need to Please tell me what I need to Its what I need to know What I need to know Its what I need to know what I need…… to save us all…
