"About Life" lyrics

In a world where we think
That we've seen everything
In a world where we think
That we rise above all things
In a time that's so fast
You have to run, so you won't get lost
In a time that's so loud
You have to scream to get recognized

In a land where you must fight
For a little fragment of human right
In a system that uses war
To spread its spirit around the globe
A religion that uses hate
To plug its message into your brain
A revolution that turns back time
Forgets what we have learned to be

I'd like to say
I have to say

You... don't know nothin'
You... don't know nothin' about
You... don't know nothin'
You... don't know nothin' at all!

A public where shoes do shine
And money beats respect for life
In a world that is cleaned
Of all secrets that nature kept
A public where death's reduced
To be excitement in late night news
In a time where children learn
To ignore the world around them

I'd like to say
I have to say

You... don't know nothin'
You... don't know nothin' about
You... don't know nothin'
You... don't know nothin' at all!

I'd like to say
I have to say

You... don't know nothin'
You... don't know nothin' about
You... don't know nothin'
You... don't know nothin' at all!

We have to see, we have to know
We have to know, we have to know
