Now You Know

So we'll do a new show,
So you'll meet a new dame,
So you'll take some time for personal pleasure.

There gotta be endings
Or there wouldn't be beginnings?
Right?

You got talent to blow
And you're making a name
And that song you wrote's a national treasure

You're looking at losses
When you should be counting winnings

Right!

Best thing that ever could have happened...

Right.

So you'll get a new flat
And you'll have a few flings,
Start a whole new life and learn to adore it

If you want to have weddings,
Then you gotta have divorces
No?

Though it's sad and all that,
You get over these things,
And you come out somehow better for it

Just because you change horses
Doesn't mean you're changing courses

Right!!

Best thing that ever could have happened,
I say best thing that ever could have happened

Right!

All right, now you know,
Life is crummy
Well, now you know

Okay, big surprise
People love you and tell you lies
Bricks can fall out of clear blue skies
Put your dimple down
Now you know

Okay, there you go
Learn to live with it,
Now you know

It's called flowers wilt,
It's called apples rot,
It's called thieves get rich and saints get shot,
It's called God don't answer prayers a lot,
Okay, now you know

Okay, now you know
Now forget it
Don't fall apart at the seams
It's called letting go your illusions,
And don't confuse them with dreams

Yes sir, quite a blow
Don't regret it,
And don't let's go to extremes
It's called what's your choice
It's called count to ten
It's called burn your bridges, start again
You should burn them every now and then
Or you'll never grow

Because now you grow
That's the killer, is
Now you grow

You're right, nothing's fair,
And it's all a plot,
And tomorrow doesn't look so hot
Right, you better look at what you've got
Over here, hello?
Okay, now you know...
Right?

It's a month at most
Sure, you'll spin a few wheels
But you don't look back
Just leave all the pieces
When you haven't got one choice,
Might as well enjoy the other
Right?
You'll come out to the coast
We can set a few deals,
And I'm talking strictly major releases
An exit from one place
Is an entrance to another
Right!

Best thing that ever could have...
I mean, socks have holes,
I mean, roads have bumps,
They make meatheads champs and nice guys chumps
I mean, even cream of wheat has lumps

Best thing that ever could have happened!
Best thing that ever could have happened!

Right, we'll do a new show
No, we'll do a whole batch!
And it's over with, I'll cut the connection
Gotta have endings,
Or there wouldn't be beginnings

Right!

When you're flattened this low
And you're starting from scratch,
You can only go in one direction!

The side is retired,
But there still are lots of innings,
Right?

Best thing that ever could have happened!
Best thing that ever could have happened!
I say, best thing that ever could have happened,
I say, best thing that ever could have happened!
It's your time, your time!
It's your time!

What's your choice?
Count to ten
Burn your bridges, start again
You should burn them every now and then
Or you'll never grow

Because now you grow.
That's the killer, is
Now you grow!

You're right, nothing's fair,
And it's all a plot,
Tomorrow doesn't look so hot

Right, you better look at what you've got
Over here, hello?
Over here, hello?
Over here, hello?

Now you know! (Right!)
Now you know! (Right!)
Now you know! (Right!)
Now you know! (Right!)
Now you know! (Right!)
Now you know! (Right!)
Now you know! (Right!)
Now you know! (Right!)

Right!
Right!
Right!
Right!
Right!
Right!
Right!
Right!
Now you know!
