Lyrics

Knowledge

[Verse 1]

I know things are getting tougher

When you can't get the top off the bottom of the barrel

Wide open road of my future now

It's looking fucking narrow

[Chorus]

All I know is that I don't know

All I know is that I don't know nothing

All I know is that I don't know

All I know is that I don't know nothing

[Verse 2]

We get told to decide

Just like, as if, I'm not going to change my mind

[Chorus]

All I know is that I don't know

All I know is that I don't know nothing

All I know is that I don't know

All I know is that I don't know nothing...hey!

[Bridge]

Whatcha gonna do with yourself?

Boy, you better make up your mind

Whatcha gonna do with yourself?

You're running out of time

[Chorus]

All I know is that I don't know
