There’s a Lot That You Don’t Know

You’d like us to believe that you’re the smartest man around.

The cameras always follow you whenever you’re in town.

You play for all the marbles, and you always play to win.

You know how to work the system. You’re the best there’s ever been.

Well, all that may be so.

But there’s a lot that you don’t know.

 

You can’t see any profit in treating people fair,

So you’ve given up on kindness or acting like you care.

There has to be an angle to everything you do.

But you’ll regret it when your past catches up with you.

It just goes to show

There’s a lot that you don’t know.

 

You’re in for a shock when the party finally ends.

You may have lots of allies, but you don’t have any friends.

You just used everybody, but they used you as well.

When they don’t need you any more, they’ll just say "Go to Hell".

Get ready to eat some crow,

’Cause there’s a lot that you don’t know.

We won’t miss you when you go.

Guess there’s a lot that you don’t know.
