Jackie Greene - What I Know lyrics

Some time ago it occured to me That the only thing that you get for free Is the smile on her face, when your foot Goes through the door Cause what it is ain't what it seems Like the promises from magazines And you say your plate is empty But you never ask for more What I know I know, just can't save me now But bless me father, cause' I'm the One I got no sword, I got no gun But when the day is said and done I believe i'll still be here And just because my eyes are down Don't mean that i can't look around Watch them smiles turn to frowns The laughs that turn to tears What I know I know, just can't save me now Some folks like to have it all I see it in my crystal ball And some folks are just bound to fall And others born to lose So you can build your mansion You can build your throne But the more you have, the less you own And soon your time is come and gone And then you'll have to choose What i know I know, just can't save me now Electronic men who supervise And the cell talk and the super-size Has taken me by surprise and I'm weary to the bone And sometimes all i seem to see Is the Jukebox of Hypocrisy Be not what you claim to be But you claim to be your own What I know I know, just can't save me now You cannot advertise to me I know you're lying, can't you see Now, if you'll kindly exit my TV I'll show you to the door "save the coupons, save the cans" I can't keep up with the demands Now my Babe is washed by Dirty Hands And I can't take no more
