The Man Who Knows Everything

I climbed up a mountain in search of answers Or a slight enlightment from the burden of cancerous Questions of existence, the malignant tumors of tradition Based in wisdom surrounding capitalism I reached the top and met a man who lived alone With no connection to the world, not a TV not a phone He said welcome to the home for which you can atone For the ignorance present in all that you've ever known Please let go of it all, when I say that I truly mean it Your faith, your friends, your family, those you follow in vanity Indeed you've been led astray since the day that you were born And I mourn for your journey up this monumental stone Cause I offer no response for the answers that you seek Instead offer release from everything you think you need See the reason for your sadness stems from your belief That the answers to those questions will give you internal peace See the man who knows everything knows he knows nothing So just quit with all that bluffing you ain't on the stuff you front about Giving folk the runaround but your facade is coming down Humble yourself, the time is now The man who knows everything knows he knows nothing So just quit with all that bluffing you ain't on the stuff you front about Giving folk the runaround but your facade is coming down Humble yourself, the time is now Tears of a clown Take off your paper crown And rip it all apart Bury it in the ground There lived a boy who was a brainiac in school Ever seeking knowledge wholly considered uncool He sought refuge in the thought that one day he'd know it all And showing everyone that the way they think is wrong Filling his head with knowledge from all of his favorite minds From Socrates to Alan Watts, and all other kinds Of philosophers showing him things his teachers never could Progressing just a little too fast for his own good Fast forward for some years and now the boy is a man Steady going insane, cause he just can't understand Why he hasn't reached a conclusion, only further confusion Circular patterned nightmares, facing the delusion Of his younger self, til one day he'd had it with the lies And decided to sell all his things, cut all his ties And he found the highest peak in which he could reside And stayed there for the rest of his life See the man who knows everything knows he knows nothing So just quit with all that bluffing you ain't on the stuff you front about Giving folk the runaround but your facade is coming down Humble yourself, the time is now The man who knows everything knows he knows nothing So just quit with all that bluffing you ain't on the stuff you front about Giving folk the runaround but your facade is coming down Humble yourself, the time is now Where's your paper crown? What's never lost is never found When no one else is around Learn to swim you'll never drown
