Know It All

Look at the world in disbelief
You used to follow, now you lead
College has enlightened you

And you are proud to be different and like
Different bands, different types
You ain't nobody's fool

It's like certain bands
Remind you of someone you hated
'Cause they didn't wear the right clothing
And there's only one true fashion
A lot of the bands on the college charts
Are great bands
Until they get signed, Then you hate them
It's such bullshit
You used to love them, you hypocrite

Know it all, know it all
Did you really listen to that song?
Could you ever write what you call wrong?

I remember you and I
Listening to bands that we liked
Only the songs mattered to you

But now you're a D.J.
And preaching that hype
Corporate rock sucks, you know
College radio enlightens you

It's supposed to serve as a means
To expose new bands without prejudice,
But it makes no sense safe harbor
For the underground
'Til the alternative becomes
The popular sound
The bands are good
'til they make enough cash
To eat food and get a pad
Then they're sold out
And their music is cliché
Because talent's exclusive
To bands without pay

Know it all, know it all
Did you really listen to that song?
Could you ever write what you call wrong?
Know it all
