"Don't Chu-Know" lyrics

You can spend all your days in the grind
Converting your nickels to dimes
You could stuff all your pockets 'til they overflow
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know

You can say you're too old to be young
You think you're too smart to be dumb
But the well-seasoned pro knows how long he can go
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know

You can sing every song that's been sung
Conquer the moon and the sun
But if you ask me
It's all both been said and been done

We're just recycled history machines
Cavemen in faded blue jeans
It's the unanswered question in each one of us
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know

The more we learn, the less we know
What you keep is what you can't let go
Take it fast or take it slow, just one way for you to go
Don't you know, let's go now

You can sing every song that's been sung
Conquer the moon and the sun
But if you ask me
It's not in the race that you run

It's that outcast in each one of us
Who gets the girl who is too glamorous
There's no one to deceive, it's just all make-believe
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know

Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know, don't you know, don't you know
I don't know, I don't know
Wait a minute, wait a minute, I can name that song in two notes
It's another one of those songs that I've written about not knowing much or not knowing what I was doing or not knowing where I was going or not knowing where I've been
Yeah, Frank Mantle once said the best navigators are not quite sure where they're going and then they're still not sure
But I don't want that, indecision may or may not be my problem
And this song's gone way too long, it's getting out of control
Oh my God, she's heading for the alfalfa again!
