Ignorance Amiss
All I wanted for Christmas was everything
Everything I got for Christmas
Now resides at the pawn shop
You ask for the world, you end up with Earth -
Dirty
Rotting
Infested
Utterly confusing
The most liberating thing a person can do
Is say 'I don't know' ... And mean it
But what if you know everything?
What if you know nothing?
What if you know that you know nothing?
Of course no one will believe you
They all 'know' you're full of it
You can't be better than they are
But I am
They just don't 'know' it yet
