Don't Chu-Know


Print songSend correction to the songSend new songfacebooktwitterwhatsapp

You can spend all your days in the grind
Converting your nickles to dimes
You could stuff all your pockets till they overflow
Don't chu know don't chu know don't chu 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 chu know don't chu know

You can sing every song that's been sung
Conquer the moon and the sun
But if you asked 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 chu know don't chu know don't chu know

Bridge
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 chu know - let's go now

You can sing every song that's been sung
Conquer the moon and the sun
But if you asked me it's not in the race that you run
It's the 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 chu know don't chu know don't chu know
Don't chu know don't chu know don't chu know
Don't chu know don't chu know don't chu know
