Know It All

By: Abraham Cates 12-3-11

V1:
OH, I guess I have three layers in my brain, that’s what they tell me, there’s the hindbrain, limbic system, neocortex
If I had to make a living with the words that I just said then unemployment simply would become my forte,
Hindbrain keepin’ me from sinking, neocortex I’ve been thinking, how would limbic feel if we left him alone?
We had better get along or else it might not be too long before the hemisphere communicating stinketh

Chorus1:
Oh, what’s in my head, I’ve been thinking that instead of just believing I could somehow know it all, (at end, Chorus2)
They will tell you that you’re nuts, that you’re living in a rut that you created by just laying there in bed
V2:
Seeing is believing, how ‘bout auditory learning? Kinesthetically I need to blow my nose,
They say that Van Gogh was an artist, Eric Clapton a guitarist, and Baryshnikov is dancing on his toes
When we are little we are seeing, hearing, touching and endearingly we like to answer no,
We’ll experiment with everything until we know just what we wanna do until the day that we get old

V3:
When you’re at an interview, do you give a persona view or fear the boss is simply pounding heads?
When at work you get a negative review, are you afraid or do you run outside while screaming bloody red?
I’m not telling you that you should live your life the way I want you to, just think about the things you do instead,
If you think the corporations gonna swallow you for dinner, well, then maybe you should sing with me instead
(Chorus1)

Chorus2:
They tell me that I’m nuts that I’m living in a rut that I created, but I’m having such a ball!!

Hi I'm Abe (Seven Times Down),
I write music because I have to. I'm driven to. I play guitar & mess around with lots of other stuff. My music could mostly be called folk, as long as you include punk, ambient, gospel, and blues in there too.
