Ben Folds BASTARD 歌詞

歌：Ben Folds

The old bastard
left his ties and a suit
A brown box Mothballs
and bowling shoes
And his
opinions so you'd
never have to choose
Pretty soon you'll be
an old bastard too
You get smaller as
the world gets big
The more you know you
know you don't know shit
"The Whiz Man"
will never fit you like
"The Whiz Kid" did
So why you gotta act
like you know
when you don't know?
It's okay if you don't
know everything
Why you gotta act
like you know
when you don't know
It's okay if you don't
know everything
Close your eyes
Close your ears
young man
You've seen and heard
all an old man can
Spread the facts
on the floor like a fan
Throw away the ones
that make you feel bad
Kids today are getting
old too fast
They can't wait to grow
up so they can
kiss some ass
They get nostalgic
about the last ten years
Before the last ten years
have passed
So why you gotta act
like you know
when you don't know
It's okay if you don't
know everything
Why you gotta act
like you know
when you don't know
It's okay if you don't
know everything

Tears land on a hand
on a chest
The old bastard
had a paradigm arrest
He got smaller as
the world got big
The more he knew
he knew he didn't
know shit
"The Whiz Man"
never fit him like
"The Whiz Kid" did
So why you gotta act
like you know
when you don't know
It's okay if you don't
know everything
Why you gotta act
like you know
when you don't know
It's okay if you don't
know everything
