Ben Folds - Bastard Lyrics
The old bastard left his ties and his suitA brown box, mothballs and bowling shoesand his opinion so you'd never have to choosePretty soon, you'll be an old bastard tooYou get smaller while the world gets bigThe more you know you know you don't know shitThe whiz man'll never fit you like the whiz kid didSo why you gotta act like you know when you don't know?It's okay if you don't know everythingWhy you gotta act like you know when you don't know?It's okay if you don't know everythingClose your eyes close your ears young manYou've seen and heard all an old man canSpread the facts on the floor like a fanthrow away the ones that make you feel badKids today gettin' old too fastthey can't wait to grow up so they can get some assThey get nostalgic about the last ten yearsbefore the last ten years have passedwhy you gotta act like you know when you don't know?It's okay if you don't know everythingWhy you gotta act like you know when you don't know?It's okay if you don't know everythingTears land on a hand on the chestThe old bastard had a paradigm arrestYou got smaller and the world got bigThe more you knew we knew we didn't know shitThe whiz man never fit him the whiz kid didWhy you gotta act like you know when you don't know?cause It's okay if you don't know everythingWhy you gotta act like you know when you don't know?It's okay if you don't know everything
