No One Knows Nothing Anymore
Deep down in the underground
Atoms spinning 'round and 'round
Scientists monitor readings
Searching for the Holy Grail
The particle or at least the tale
Of the one who gives the universe its meaning
But what if there's nothing
No big answer to find?
What if we're just passing through time?
No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again
What happens when the markets drop
If the numbers really don't add up?
Everyone seeks the safe haven
And as they contemplate their ruin
The self-proclaimed smartest people in the room
Are trying very hard not to sound craven
But what if there's nothing
No pot of gold to find?
Only the blind leading the blind
No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Since nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again
Let's stop pretending we can manage our way out of here
Let's stop defending the indefensible
Let's stop relying on the lecturing of the experts
Whose spin just makes our plight incomprehensible
High up on a mountain top
Somebody with a skinned crop
Is thinking deep thoughts for us all
Serenity is all around
But if you listen you can hear the sound
Of one head being banged against the wall
But what if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees
Who'd be sleeping weighed down by these worries?
No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Since nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again
Atoms spinning 'round and 'round
Scientists monitor readings
Searching for the Holy Grail
The particle or at least the tale
Of the one who gives the universe its meaning
But what if there's nothing
No big answer to find?
What if we're just passing through time?
No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again
What happens when the markets drop
If the numbers really don't add up?
Everyone seeks the safe haven
And as they contemplate their ruin
The self-proclaimed smartest people in the room
Are trying very hard not to sound craven
But what if there's nothing
No pot of gold to find?
Only the blind leading the blind
No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Since nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again
Let's stop pretending we can manage our way out of here
Let's stop defending the indefensible
Let's stop relying on the lecturing of the experts
Whose spin just makes our plight incomprehensible
High up on a mountain top
Somebody with a skinned crop
Is thinking deep thoughts for us all
Serenity is all around
But if you listen you can hear the sound
Of one head being banged against the wall
But what if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees
Who'd be sleeping weighed down by these worries?
No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Since nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again
