Billy Bragg - No One Knows Nothing Anymore Lyrics
Deep down in the underground, atoms spinning round and roundScientists monitor readingsSearching for the Holy Grail, the particle or at least the taleOf 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 anymoreNobody really knows the scoreNobody knows anythingLet's break it down and start againWhat 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 roomAre trying very hard not to sound cravin'But what if there's nothing, no pot of gold to find?Only the blind leading the blind.No one knows nothing anymoreNobody really knows the scoreSeems nobody knows anythingLet's break it down and start againLet's stop pretendingWe can manage our way out of here.Let's stop defending the indefensible.Let's stop relying onThe lecturing of the expertsWhose spin just makes our plight incomprehensible.High up on a mountain top, somebody with a skinned cropIs thinking deep thoughts for us all.Serenity is all around, but if you listen you can hear the soundOf one head being banged against the wall.But what if our ancestors had stayed up in the treesWho'd be sleeping weighed down by these worries?No one knows nothing anymoreNobody really knows the scoreSince nobody knows anythingLet's break it down and start again
