Are you saying I've got to sit here And watch all your lights turn cold Pack my bag of good intentions In the boot of growing old Are you saying my hand can't hold back This tsunami rolling in The only power at my disposal Is choose which way to swim I'm sure I knew it on the day I was born But time has misted up my memory All I know is that I know nothing So don't ask me, no don't ask me I've been late to learn a lesson Some things are best left unsaid But love has polished the connection Between my big mouth and my head I'm sure I knew it on the day I was born But time has misted up my memory, yeah All I know is that I know nothing So don't ask me I've got trouble enough Keeping my own nose clean Each day's a twisting path With dangers I can't foresee I'd better mind my own affairs Trust those I love to mind theirs I'm going to shut my eyes and count To one-two-three So I'll watch the wave approaching Rising deadly up the sands And I'll smile in all the right places And sit upon my hands I'm sure I knew it on the day I was born But time has misted up my memory, yeah All I know is that I know nothing All I know is that I know nothing All I know is that I know nothing So don't ask me
