What I Know - Jackie Greene

Some time ago it occured to me

That the only thing that you get for free

Is the smile on her face when your foot

Goes through the door

Cause what it is ain't what it seems

Like the promises from magazines

And you say your plate is empty

But you never ask for more

What I know

I know just can't save me now

But bless me father cause' I'm the One

I got no sword I got no gun

But when the day is said and done

I believe i'll still be here

And just because my eyes are down

Don't mean that i can't look around

Watch them smiles turn to frowns

The laughs that turn to tears

What I know

I know just can't save me now

Some folks like to have it all

I see it in my crystal ball

And some folks are just bound to fall

And others born to lose

So you can build your mansion

You can build your throne

But the more you have the less you own

And soon your time is come and gone

And then you'll have to choose

What i know

I know just can't save me now

Electronic men who supervise

And the cell talk and the super-size

Has taken me by surprise and

I'm weary to the bone

And sometimes all i seem to see

Is the Jukebox of Hypocrisy

Be not what you claim to be

But you claim to be your own

What I know

I know just can't save me now

You cannot advertise to me

I know you're lying can't you see

Now if you'll kindly exit my TV

I'll show you to the door

"save the coupons save the cans"

I can't keep up with the demands

Now my Babe is washed by Dirty Hands

And I can't take no more What I know I know just can't save me now
