The old bastard left his ties and his suit
|
A brown box, mothballs and bowling shoes
|
and his opinion so you'd never have to choose
|
Pretty soon, you'll be an old bastard too
|
You get smaller while the world gets big
|
The more you know you know you don't know shit
|
The whiz man'll never fit you like the whiz kid did
|
|
So why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
|
It's okay if you don't know everything
|
Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
|
It's okay if you don't know everything
|
|
Close your eyes close your ears young man
|
You've seen and heard all an old man can
|
Spread the facts on the floor like a fan
|
throw away the ones that make you feel bad
|
|
Kids today gettin' old too fast
|
they can't wait to grow up so they can get some ass
|
They get nostalgic about the last ten years
|
before the last ten years have passed
|
|
why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
|
It's okay if you don't know everything
|
Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
|
It's okay if you don't know everything
|
|
Tears land on a hand on the chest
|
The old bastard had a paradigm arrest
|
|
You got smaller and the world got big
|
The more you knew we knew we didn't know shit
|
The whiz man never fit him the whiz kid did
|
|
Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
|
cause It's okay if you don't know everything
|
Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?
|
It's okay if you don't know everything
