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 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.  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
