“What Do They Know”
It ain’t like it used to be before
They say kids today are angry and lazy
They’re all going crazy
What do they know?
What do they know?
Some folks talk about, “This world is crazy”
Strange folks got to go
They say folks today have lost their religion
Making wrong decisions
What do they know?
Tell me, what do they know?
What do they know?
What do they know?
Blind man sitting by a tall oak tree
He just sits there and says, “Talk to me”
Everybody’s tryna tell you what you should know
Don’t mess around with folks putting you down
Just let ’em go
What do they know?
Just let ’em go
What do they know?
Blind man sitting by a tall oak tree
He just sits there and says, “Talk to me”
Everybody’s tryna tell you what you should know
But don’t mess around with folks putting you down
Just let ’em go
Just let ’em go
What do they know?
They can talk about ya
What do they know?
