about

I'M JUST SO FED UP WITH SO CALLED CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY AND EXORBITANTLY PAID BANKERS FOREVER CRASHING THE ECONOMY.
AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

lyrics

NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’

PARDON ME WHILE I STIFLE A YAWN
BUT THE GREAT AND THE GOOD KEEP GETTING IT WRONG
NOW I KNOW THAT IGNORANCE IS BLISS
THESE IMBECILES PROVE THAT IT IS

NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’ ANYWAY, IT’S ALL A GAME
EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYTHING, OR SO THEY SAY
IF ONLY THEY’D JOIN THE DOTS
IF THEY COULD THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
BUT THEN NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’ ANYWAY

WHEN THE BOSS MAN SAYS HE’S HAD A BAD DAY
IT’S ALWAYS US THAT HAS TO PAY, YEAH
IT’S NEVER HIS FAULT, OR SO IT SEEMS
ANOTHER FINE MESS FOR US TO CLEAN, YEAH

NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’ ANYWAY, IT’S ALL A GAME
EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYTHING, OR SO THEY SAY
IF ONLY THEY’D JOIN THE DOTS
IF THEY COULD THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
BUT THEN NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’ ANYWAY

HOW DID THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM
TURN OUT TO BE SO DUMB
LOOK WHAT THEY DONE
THEY CRASHED AND BURNED
HERE WE GO AGAIN, WILL WE NEVER LEARN

NO ONE KNOWS NOTHIN’ ANYWAY, IT’S ALL A GAME
EVERYBODY KNOWS EVERYTHING, OR SO THEY SAY
IF ONLY THEY’D JOIN THE DOTS
IF THEY COULD THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
BUT I KNOW, THEY’VE LOST THE PLOT
NO POINT IN SMALL TALK
IT’S ALL THE SAME RIGHT TO THE TOP
NOBODY SHOUTED STOP
CAUSE NO ONE KNOW NOTHIN’ ANYWAY
