Sterix:
Mr. Knowitall


Verse
You think you have the answers to the questions we don't ask
But you are so wide of the mark; you never saw us as we passed
This endless fascination with this warped reality
Is gonna crash down all around you. Well the blind man doesn't see

Verse
But you have eyes and you should use them: take a look when they're not closed
Because the blind man cannot lead another blind man by the nose
You seem to think that you're immune to what the rest of us hold true
That science isn't just a fantasy that's out to destroy you

Pre-chorus
If you wanted you could change your mind
But instead you'd rather sit there and ignore the danger signs

Chorus
Mr. Knowitall
You're gonna fall
Your knowledge wasn't gained
You try to pass off as your own thoughts but that would need a brain
So Mr. Knowitall
Forget it all
And stop with all this bull
You may believe it shows intelligence but it just shows you're full
Of hot, hot air

Verse
It's better to have others just believe that you are thick
Than to remove any suspicion with the movement of your lips
But you removed all doubt some time ago and proudly let it show
And so the only ones who listen are the mirrors of your soul

Pre-chorus
Why so stubborn in the face of fact?
But instead you'd rather spout off as if science was an act

Chorus
Mr. Knowitall
You're gonna fall
Your knowledge wasn't gained
You try to pass off as your own thoughts but that would need a brain
So Mr. Knowitall
Forget it all
And stop with all this bull
You may believe it shows intelligence but it just shows you're full
Of hot, hot air

INSTRUMENTAL

Verse
Your petulance is dangerous to others lacking thought
You pass yourself off as an expert though you never took the course
And it is always them and not you who will suffer for your ills
It's not the mighty sword of battle but the thoughtless word that kills

Pre-chorus
But you don't care: you're safe behind your walls
So instead you'd rather sit there while your followers all fall

Chorus
Mr. Knowitall
You're gonna fall
Your knowledge wasn't gained
You try to pass off as your own thoughts but that would need a brain
So Mr. Knowitall
Forget it all
And stop with all this bull
You may believe it shows intelligence but it just shows you're full
Of hot, hot air

@Sterix - Brilliant, nuff said

hi @Sterix

I do like the lyrics
but I'm just thinking, or it appears to me to be a dig at the people not entirely trusting the loudest narrative concerning the "to vaccinate or not to vaccinate", and to the detriment of the nots.
I dunno if this is your intention.

Sterix:
Anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers, 911 conspiracy theorists, people who think 5G is there to brainwash or track you, certain elements of "the woke" even... the list is endless. It's a general dig at them all. :D

haha

yes, lashing out can be a fruitful exercise.

but I do have sympathy for those untrusting in the government.
(especially if it's the English or the American government)

I mean who hangs on the words of Mr. Johnson?
I generally like clowns but there are some positions in society that is unsuited for them.


the biggest irritation for me in recent times
has been those people that get loud and angry at others, those who cluelessly bark the latest they've heard about the virus, the vax etc.

lol. It's like a conspiracy theory without the theory part.


You don't think the 9 11 story was a bit fishy?
Was it the Iraqis?

I can't remember.
