I sat on top of the world I chased down every girl I asked them what they'd heard I wrote down every word I searched the crowded sky I talked to every guy Said "show me how to have pride" And they took me for a ride And I don't know why I'm so inclined To keep wasting time It's so hard to find And I don't mind bumming around But I'm halfway in the ground And I haven't heard a sound From my guiding light How are you okay with knowing You don't know anything Where's the comfort When you say that you think "Life is just a mystery" Well then you keep living And I'll keep on searching For the meaning of it I knew I had what it took To find out what nobody could So I listened to the sermons And I read through every book And I wrecked them all Like a cannonball They think they know God They must've misunderstood How are you okay with knowing You don't know anything Where's the comfort When you say that you think "Life is just a mystery" Well then you keep living And I'll keep on searching For the meaning of it How are you okay with knowing You don't know anything Where's the comfort When you say that you think "Life is just a mystery" Well then you keep living And I'll keep on searching For the meaning of it
