I played a show a while ago
Walked into town with a buyout to blow
I got pursued by a mean-looking dude
I thought he wanted my phone and food
So I tried to pick up the pace but soon we got all face-to-face
When at last he broke the silence and said ‘Excuse me. But I love your band, my man.’
I looked into his eyes
And that’s when I realized that I don’t know anything
All that I thought I knew, only this much is true
I don’t know anything
Well I did used to feel so definite
Certain about the whole deal
What’s a crock and what’s for real
But it’s hard to survive as an unshakeable rock
I know I’ve got to move to stay alive
Yeah, Everybody always thinks they have it worked out
But just one line can change your mind and raise up that doubt
I was a stubborn man
These days I understand that I don’t know anything
It feels like I’ve been set free, say it along with me
Yeah, I don’t know anything
I don’t know anything
No, I don’t know anything
I don’t know anything
No, I don’t know anything
I never mind admitting that I don’t know anything
I ain’t embarra**ed to sing that I don’t know anything
But I try
But I try
But I try
But I try
But I try
But I try
But I try
But I try
But I try
