"I Don't Know Anything" lyrics

When we got started, I dreamed of this place
Staring up at the boys in their jeans on the stage
Now that we're here, I just feel sort of vacant
Come way too far to feel vaguely complacent
I wish it were different, but it's true

Go into cardiac arrest before I make 20k
What does it mean to sell out?
Shut your mouth, it's insane
I should enjoy it, shouldn't complain
I'm living a dream at the end of the day
And it's hard to believe in, hard to explain
Nobody forced me to stay in the game
Someone would kill to do exactly the same
Besides, in the end, what's the difference?

I don't know anything about anything
I just buy in to the hype of insanity
I don't know anything about anything
I guess I live for the greed and the vanity

In 2011, my ex called me basic
Still, I had faith in my taste, wasn't jaded
But I'd never cried being up on stage yet
Like somebody else wrote the words I was saying
I wish it were different, but it's true
Sometimes I hate what we do

As 90's rock revivalists, we're just too late
All of the things that you say just to say, it's so fake
"I saw your tour dates, crowds look great"
Who will you sign with, the meetings you take?

You bet on yourself and you lose every day
Am I destined to find any means to complain?
Sam has a kid and he's setting the date
Even if we get rich, what the fuck?

I don't know anything about anything
I just buy in to the hype of insanity
I don't know anything about anything
I guess I live for the greed and the vanity

I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know

My face and my hair and my voice is all wrong
If I was smart, we'd be further along
Keep my head down and have faith in the songs
I lied, yeah my fear of rejection is strong

I don't know anything about anything
I just buy in to the hype of insanity
I don't know anything about anything
I guess I live for the greed and the vanity

I don't know anything
I don't know anything about anything
About anything
I don't know
