Kongos - Hey I Don't Know | Live @ JBTV

South African alternative rockers Dylan, Daniel, Jesse, and Johnny all happen to be brothers, and you guessed it- their last name is Kongos. Their band has have been topping charts in South Africa since the original release of their debut album Lunatic (Epic Records) in 2012.
This has been a great year for the Kongos as they are gaining popularity in the United States. Now the band has re-released the album for American ears which has been propelled into the U.S. alternative charts by singles such as this one called "I'm Only Joking." Kongos performed this song live as guests at JBTV Studios in Chicago in front of a packed house. Kongos have channeled an interesting dimension into their music by rocking the accordion, which brings a lot of unique energy to their shows and sets them apart from other bands.
Lyrics:
Tears are shed, a shame
I should have known
I should have thought
I could have thought
Before I cast that stone
The waves radiate far and wide
There's a ringing in my ears
For a minute
I think I'm going blind
Tears are shed, a shame
I should have known
The crown weighs heavy
Heavy as I sit back in my throne
I say hey, it wasn't me
I'm just a pawn
But the devil's not into details
Where have all the heroes gone?
Hey I don't know
Why don't you tell me?
The dream is broken
Now the mind must be woken
So what are you waiting for
Tell me what's the hesitation?
What are you waiting for
Tell me what is the delay?
Hey I don't know
The victor earns the title "The Great"
All the mysteries get unlearned
All the history just becomes a string of dates
The hordes overrun in a clean sweep
Destroying everything that was built
Where's the glory in making mothers weep?
Hey I don't know
The dream is broken
Now the mind must be woken
So what are you waiting for
Tell me what's the hesitation?
What are you waiting for
Your special invitation?
What are you waiting for
Tell me what is the delay?
Hey I don't know
