The Know It Alls

Most folks like to get away
From all the things that they want to say
They choke it up when they hold it down
Truth is, they don't want you around

I look smart, and I'm working hard
You look nasty and act like a snob
You never give me any kind of incentive
The way you talk down to me is pathetic

They don't mind how they treat us
They don't care how we're going down
But we'll be there when they need us
And they won't fall
The know it alls

You make me nervous how you speak to me
You'll give me something, but nothing's for free
Don't wanna be something that I'm not
Don't wanna change, cause I know what I've got

You wanna ask me what I think?
Like what I think really means a thing
You make me feel my opinion counts
You push me up, just to shoot me back down

They don't mind how they treat us
They don't care how we're going down
But we'll be there when they need us
And they won't fall
The know it alls

And with the camera in the right place
Like a bird sang through the waves
What it did... I wasn't told
Not a word... Nothing at all... Nothing at all

Your blood is pumpin' and your veins are poppin'
Your heart is thumpin' and there ain't no stoppin'
You wanna scream, but you know composure
Cause if you did, you'd expose an explosion

Bite your tongue
Let it bleed
Only you is what you need
Back Stabbers
Money Grabbers
Gotta watch the Chitter Chatters

Wanna say something, say it loud
Or mind your business, and shut that shit down

They don't mind how they treat us
They don't care how we're going down
But we'll be there when they need us
And they won't fall
The know it alls
The know it alls
The know it alls
