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 cravin'
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
Seems 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
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 cravin'
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
Seems 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
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
