Never trust a Hippy

No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again

Then she comes back and asks me
To sing all her favourite songs
As if she's never been away
As if she's done nothing wrong

No One Knows Nothing Anymore Lyrics - Billy Bragg

quote

Deep down in the underground
Atoms spinning round and round
Scientists monitor readings
Searching for the Holy Grail
The particle or at least the tail
Of the one that gives the universe its meaning

But what if there's nothing, no big answer to find
What if we're just passing through time

No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again

What happens when the markets drop
If the numbers really don't add up
Everyone seeks the safe heaven
And as they contemplate their ruin
The self proclaimed smartest people in the room
Are trying very hard not to sound craven

But what if there's nothing, no put of gold to find
Only the blind leading the blind

No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Seems nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again

Let's stop pretending we can manage our way out of here
Let's stop defending the indefensible
Let's stop relying on the lecturing of the experts
Whose spin just make our plight incomprehensible
High up on a mountain top
Somebody with a skinned crop is thinking deep thoughts for us all
Serenity is all around, bet if you listen you can hear the sound
Of one head being banged against the wall
What if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees
Would we still be weighed down by these worries

No one knows nothing anymore
Nobody really knows the score
Seems nobody knows anything
Let's break it down and start again

Wow...you can google.

Now, without help...

And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,

Ticky tacky? Pete? I guess. No google, but the meter and sentiment is right.

I live near the inspiration, Daly City CA.

Edit: Now, googling, I see it's called Little Boxes. Malvina. "Reynolds was a folk singer-songwriter and political activist in the 1960s and 1970s. Nancy Reynolds, her daughter, explained that her mother came up with the song when she saw the housing developments around Daly City, California, built in the post-war era by Henry Doelger, particularly the neighborhood of Westlake."

The internet is a legitimate brain extension, and is no more reliable.

I'm not into labels, man.

Play ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know how the niggers feel cold
And the slums got so much soul

That sounds like a putdown of brothers that aren't really brothers 'cos they made it.
