lyrics
Once I thought I knew the world,
Shaped the silence with my words,
But I didn’t know a thing at all.
There were times I’d sing my songs,
And tell myself I’m never wrong
But I didn’t know a thing at all.
All the tools were in my hands,
But I wasn’t smart enough to use ‘em.
The words I thought I would understand,
The best that I could do was abuse them.
I thought I was worth the time,
But I was deaf and numb and blind,
‘Cuz I wasn’t worth anything at all.
I thought there was nothing worse,
Than melting away within remorse,
But I wasn’t worth anything at all.
All the tools were in my hands,
But I wasn’t smart enough to use ‘em.
The words I thought I would understand,
The best that I could do was abuse them.
I thought I was floating there,
But all I did was tread the air,
‘Cuz I didn’t go anywhere at all.
I knew my way around the block,
Moved my feet and walked the walk,
But I didn’t go anywhere at all.
There were times I’d sit and say,
“Wow, I had a productive day,”
But I didn’t do anything at all.
As head and shoulders, hand in hand,
We walk the seas and swim through land,
But we don’t know anything at all.
All the tools were in our hands,
But we weren't smart enough to use ‘em.
The words we thought we would understand,
The best that we could do was abuse them.
