English term or phrase: You question answers
Plain Truth Song by Gentle Giant:

"Tell Frank to order me, uh
Two Wimpeys and a portion of chips, will ya?
With onions, and tomato sauce on the chips, please."
Why do you question
When there's no answer told?
Plain truth is nothing
You can't buy it when it's sold
Save all your money
And they won't reason why
Why all the worry?
They'll spend it when you die
Don't look for something
Plain truth is nothing,
Nothing but the plain truth
You stand and wonder
Just let it warm your skin
Take all the living
Live life and let it win
Plain truth means nothing
Cry, laugh and cry again
You question answers
Born, live and die, Amen

Explanation:
This may be an unconventional interpretatation but, at the beginning, the lyrics say:

"Why do you question
When there\'s no answer told?"

Don\'t look for something
Plain truth is nothing,

You stand and wonder

Here, "question" sounds like "quest:" why do you quest for answers that do not exist and for truth has no meaning.
