Lyrics

Palm trees and blue simplicities
Make me miss rascality
What can I say?
What can I say?
What can I say?
I want nineteen's responsibilities
With all these romantic reveries
What can I say?
I guess we're all just the same
What you gonna know, what you gonna know wearing
A suit and tie until the day you die
I don't need to know, what you think you know
What you gonna know, what you gonna know erring
On the side of condescending, I
I don't need to know, what you think you know
Sitting by the tele, rewinding to the start again
Nothing surprises when ya hear things already said
So tell me what's the point of living in a backwards world?
What can you say?
There's nothing left that you can say
What you gonna know, what you gonna know wearing
A suit and tie until the day you die
I don't need to know, what you think you know
What you gonna know, what you gonna know erring
On the side of condescending, I
I don't need to know, what you think you know
Oh sunshine, keep me blind
I've built my walls round paradise
Does it get old living out a lie?
Oh sunshine, I'll be fine
So called sublime won't break my guise
Guess it just feels like I'm running out of time
What you gonna know, what you gonna know wearing
A suit and tie until the day you die
I don't need to know, what you think you know
What you gonna know, what you gonna know erring
On the side of condescending, I
I don't need to know, what you think you know
