Know It All Lyrics by Marlinspike

Old Scores & New Horizons

2008

[Verse 1]
So my way isn't your way
But does it really mean it's the wrong way?
There's a shortcut, to compromise
But you insist that we take the long way
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You were born to stand your ground
You're a stout one, I'll grant you that
But there comes a time when you gotta stand down
Give the next one their due, it can't always be you
[Chorus 1]
You're an expert, an authority
And the shit don't stink, but you left it for me
And it must be, just me
'Cause you've been everywhere, and you've done everything
But you can't know it all, can't know it all
So remove your head from your ass
Know it all
[Verse 2]
Your built up strategy
Don't listen, don't think, first, disagree
And that's on a good day
'Cause most of the time you just cut me off anyway
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You don't want to let anyone else
To make you feel like you're not in control
No, you don't need anyone's help
But you've found a way to save the day
[Chorus 2]
You're a legend, a hero
With infinite wisdom to go with the rest
You're a martyr, a symbol
And you'll die for the cause of your self-righteousness
But you can't know it all, can't know it all
So remove your head from your ass
Know it all
[Pre-Chorus 1]
You were born to stand your ground
You're a stout one, I'll grant you that
But there comes a time when you gotta stand down
Give the next one their due, it can't always be you
[Chorus 1]
You're an expert, an authority
And the shit don't stink, but you left it for me
And it must be, just me
'Cause you've been everywhere, and you've done everything
But you can't know it all, can't know it all
You're almost as bad as me
Know it all
