For a hero or so-called, you're a real piece of work For a giant among men, you sure stay down in the dirt For want of a rail spike, your spirit was cursed The worst of our nightmares are as real as the people you hurt And you don't believe in anything else but yourself What more could there be? Hell, I don't know Well you can sell me a dream as long as I don't ask for help What else could I need? Hell, I don't know Peggy lived through a landmine, ordnance all through the yard Took orders at lunchtime, spent her nights at the bar Serving senators' castoffs, 'collateral damage' they say She grew up and died here, seen them make every mistake you could make And she always believed in something outside of herself What more could there be? Hell, I don't know Spend our nights and our mornings worrying whether we'll win Just got to make it to next year, things'll be easier then We want to get better but it's quicker to quiet the pain And conditions are slipping We've gone and made every mistake we can make

about

'"Hell, I Don't Know" is a single by Mountain Party, written in 2019 and recorded in 2021 after the pandemic put a pause on our plans. It's a bit of a departure sonically but the subject matter is pure Mountain Party. There's an undercurrent of anger, but also hope. I think it's very easy to stay cynical and not see a light at the end of the tunnel for America, but most humans are naturally hopeful. Next year will be better. I think we have to hold on to that for at least a little longer, even if it's all going down truly.' - Justin
