[Verse 1]
I know things are getting tougher
When you can't get the top off the bottom of the barrel
Wide open road of my future now
It's looking fucking narrow

[Chorus]
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

[Verse 2]
We get told to decide
Just like, as if, I'm not gonna change my mind

[Chorus]
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing
All I know is that I don't know
All I know is that I don't know nothing

[Bridge]
What'cha gonna do with yourself?
Boy, better make up your mind
What'cha gonna do with yourself, boy?
You're running out of time
