The old bastard left his ties and a suit |
|
A brown box |
|
Moth balls and bowling shoes |
|
And his opinions so you'd never have to choose |
|
Pretty soon you'll be an old bastard too |
|
You get smaller as the world gets big |
|
The more you know you know you don't know shit |
|
"The Whiz Man" will 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 are getting old too fast |
|
They can't wait to grow up so they can kiss some ass |
|
They get nostalgic about the last ten years |
|
Before the last ten years have passed |
|
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 |
|
Tears land on a hand on a chest |
|
The old bastard had a paradigm arrest |
|
He got smaller and the world got big |
|
The more he knew he knew he didn't know shit |
|
"The Whiz Man" never fit him like "The Whiz Kid" did |
|
So why you gotta act like you know when you don't know? |
|
It's ok if you don't know everything |
|
Why you gotta act like you know when you don't know? |
|
It's ok if you don't know everything |
