No One Knows Nothing Anymore

No One Knows Nothing Anymore - Billy Bragg

Deep down in the underground atoms spinning round and round

Scientists monitor readings

Searching for the Holy Grail the particle or at least the tale

Of the one who 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 haven

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 pot 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 makes our plight incomprehensible

High up on a mountain top somebody with a skinhead crop

Is thinking deep thoughts for us all

Serenity is all around but if you listen you can hear the sound

Of one head being banged against the wall

But what if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees

Who'd be sleeping weighed down by these worries

No one knows nothing anymore

Nobody really knows the score

Since nobody knows anything

Let's break it down and start again
