Know-it-all

Listen up to your mother, brother, sister
Listen up to your father
Listen up to the Lord

They apparently know
Every single answer,
Every fact and figure
In the whole damn world

But there's something
Different today
There's something
You just want to say

Hey, don't look down on me
I'm not a big baby
I'm not your mirror anymore
Hey, don't look down on me
With your philosophies
Hey, save your dogma
I've had enough

Do you know it all? Don't you

Is your life only what you read today
In The New York Times?
Is what you read in your magazines?
Is what you read in your books? Whatever happened to good
Old-fashioned experience?
Whatever happened to living?
Whatever happened to you?
That you need to condescend
No longer my good friend

Hey, don't look down on me
I'm not a big baby
I'm not your mirror anymore

Hey, don't look down on me
With your philosophies
Hey, save your dogma
I've had enough
Do you know it all?
No, you don't
