Lyrics
Too Much I Don't Know
© 2007, 2012 Words and Music by Warren Hein
I wonder if my same old thoughts
Aren't my new ideas
The world is still on fire
And crying the same old tears
These gloomy days have me so stuck
Like that statue in the rain
Standing for years in the village square
Like me he's full of stains
If there's one thing that I know
There's too much I don't know
If there's one secret I've learned
I try not to let it show
If there's one thing that I know
There's too much I don't know
If there's one secret I've learned
I try not to let it show
The neighbor's shades are open
But I rarely see a light
Their housekeeper just finished the floors
So it's safe to come home tonight
Will those clouds bring rain we need
Or a flood up to our knees
Will it be another hurricane
Or a soft and gentle breeze
By now you want some meaning
How dare you ask for that
We've ignored most of the screaming
And that's a matter of fact
We've got riches for the making
Crap's falling off our shelves
California's quaking
But keep it to yourselves
