Know It All
Challenging Certainty
Lyrics
I've gotta talk to you today
I feel the need to communicate with you today.
Can't keep listening to what you say
I can't continue to hear and accept what you are saying.
What you say, what you say
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of what is being said.
I know it makes my insides crawl
It's emotionally unsettling to me.
Think, you think, you know it all
You believe you know everything.
Know it all, know it all
Reiterating the idea that the person thinks they know everything.
Oh God, you're reading Albert Camus
Expressing frustration that the person is reading Albert Camus.
And there's not much things you can't do
Implying the person is highly capable.
Can't you see they're laughin' at you
Suggesting that others are mocking or not taking the person seriously.
Oh dear, I'm getting weary
Feeling tired or exhausted.
Of the same show every night
Expressing monotony or routine in the speaker's life.
It wouldn't be so hard if you weren't so right
It would be easier if the person wasn't always right.
I've gotta talk to you today
Repeating the need for communication.
Can't keep listening to what you say
The speaker cannot tolerate continuing to hear the person.
What you say, what you say
Repeating the emphasis on what the person says.
I know you can't get over yourself
The person is self-absorbed and unwilling to consider others.
It's so hard to listen to someone else
It's challenging to listen to someone else when the person is so self-focused.
Someone else, someone else
Highlighting the difficulty of considering someone else's perspective.
Oh God, you're reading Albert Camus
Repeating frustration about the person reading Albert Camus.
And there's not much things you can't do
Acknowledging the person's capabilities.
Can't you see they're laughin' at you
Pointing out that others are not taking the person seriously.
Oh dear, I'm getting weary
Expressing weariness or fatigue.
Of the same show every night
Describing the repetitiveness of the situation each night.
It wouldn't be so hard if you weren't so right
It would be easier if the person wasn't always right.
Oh dear, I'm getting weary
Reiterating the feeling of weariness.
Of the same show every night
Highlighting the monotonous nature of the situation.
It wouldn't be so hard if you weren't so right
It would be easier if the person wasn't always right.
Feel like you're well-meaning
Sensing the person means well, despite their behavior.
It's not your fault, I know
Recognizing that the person's actions are not entirely their fault.
You're on medication
The person is on medication, aiding personal growth.
It's helping you to grow
Acknowledging the positive impact of medication.
Oh no
Expressing concern or realization.
Oh dear, I'm getting weary
Reiterating the feeling of weariness.
Of the same show every night
Describing the repetitive nature of the nightly situation.
It wouldn't be so hard if you weren't so right
It would be easier if the person wasn't always right.
Oh dear, I'm getting weary
Expressing continued weariness or exhaustion.
Of the same show every night
Highlighting the ongoing repetition of the situation.
It wouldn't be so hard
It would be easier if the person wasn't always right.
It wouldn't be so hard if you weren't so right
Emphasizing the difficulty due to the person always being right.
