Look at the world
in disbelief
you used to follow
now you lead
college has enlightened you
And you are proud
to be different
and like different bands
different types
you ain't nobody's fool
It's like certain bands
remind you of someone
you hated
'cause they didn't
wear the right clothing
and there's only one
true fashion
And a lot of the bands
on the college charts
are great bands
until they get signed
then you hate them
it's such bullshit
you used to love them
you hypocrite
Know it all
know it all
did you really
listen to that song
could you ever write
what you call wrong
I remember you and I
listen to bands that we liked
only the songs
mattered to you
But now you're a DJ
and preaching that hype
corporate rock sucks
you know
college radio enlightens you
It's supposed to serve as
a means to expose
new bands
without prejudice
but it makes no sense
safe harbor
for the underground
'til the alternative
becomes the popular sound
The bands are good
'til they make
enough cash to eat food
and get a pad
then they sold out
and their music's cliche
because talent's exclusive
to bands without pay
Know it all
know it all
did you really
listen to that song
could you ever write
what you call wrong
know it all
