I think I’m right, all of the time…
How silly is that?
Don’t you agree, we all know nothing?
Or may at least, we would be better like that
Boogie, boogie where you go:
That's all you need to know!
‘Cuz knowing, can keep us from growing.
And showing, just feels like bravado.
Facts often change, yet the history remains…
And that’s when the gray turns to blood.
Give me right, as in now…
Stop your fighting and pouting,
Let our actions be loud our words be gibberish.
Figgy had a piggy, who then lit himself a ciggy,
turned around and did a jiggy dropped it down low:
That’s all you need to know.
Knowledge is impêrmanent,
What you know you will forget,
That’s okay because you are not just what you know.
When rediscovering,
It’s so rejuvenating,
Feels like the first time and you know just what I mean.
I’m not knowing,
Literally everyday I just wake up and I don’t know what the fuck’s going on,
And it doesn't really matter.
Each day I step into the river and the next I come out a new man.
So what’s the plan? Why the agenda? Why the schedules?
Why the endless, I don’t even know.
Not bash a routine, that makes me feel serene/
It’s like gardening; it keeps growing and cultivating.
I think you know what I mean. It's reason, gone wrong.
I’m not knowing,
Well at least I’m trying not to be so knowing anymore.
But it doesn’t stop me from being hungry for knowledge,
‘Cuz I’m greedy in that way,
But that’s okay, as long as I say
“Hey, you know what? Actually I probably don’t know all that much
And tomorrow it’s gonna be different, and that’s kinda scary,
But I can deal with all the scary, hairy feelings; and learn to love them
