"You Don't Know" lyrics

"You Don't Know"

You don't know where you belong
You should be more careful
As you follow blindly along
You just need to belong somehow

Relying on rhetoric
Not well versed on topics
Any idea what you're talking about?
Revisions of history
Fare well in some company
But don't shove that bullshit down my throat

You don't know where you belong
You should be more careful
As you follow blindly along
To find something to swear to
'Til you don't know what's right from wrong
You just need to belong somehow

Left suppresses right
Right suppresses left
So what's the left, and what's right?
You're told what to wear
You're told what to like
I'd be nice if you'd think for yourself sometime
But you don't

You know where you belong
You should be more careful
As you follow blindly along
To find something to swear to
'Til you don't know what's right from wrong
You just need to belong somehow
You just need to belong somehow

Mix sheer hypocrisy with mediocrity
You'll play it safe every time
So life turns up empty
And you're so dissatisfied
Who are you blaming this time?
Don't you know?

You don't know where you belong
You should be more careful
As you follow blindly along
To find something to swear to
'Til you don't know what's right from wrong
You just need to belong somehow
You just need to belong somehow
