No One Knows Anyone Anymore
Billy Bragg
Intro (2x) Deep down in the underground atoms spinning round and round Scientists monitor readings Searching for the Holy Grail the particle or at least the tale Of the one who gives the universe its meaning. (lift fingers off 4 & 5 string & play) But what if there’s nothing no big answer to find? (open for run up to ) What if we’re just passing through time? No one knows nothing anymore Nobody really knows the score Nobody knows anything Let’s break it down and start again What happens when the markets drop If the numbers really don’t add up? Everyone seeks the safe haven. And as they contemplate their ruin The self-proclaimed smartest people in the room Are trying very hard not to sound craven (lift fingers off 4 & 5 string & play) But what if there’s nothing no pot of gold to find? (open for run up to ) Only the blind leading the blind. No one knows nothing anymore Nobody really knows the score Nobody knows anything Let’s break it down and start again Let’s stop pretending * (* Walkdown on 6 string from 3 to 2 to openthen onto) We can manage our way out of here. ( chord and then play open then onto chord) * Let’s stop defending the indefensible. Let’s stop relying on * The lecturing of the experts Whose spin just makes our plight incomprehensible. High up on a mountain top somebody with a skinhead crop Is thinking deep thoughts for us all. Serenity is all around but if you listen you can hear the sound Of one head being banged against the wall. (lift fingers off 4 & 5 string & play) But what if our ancestors had stayed up in the trees (open for run up to ) Who’d be sleeping weighed down by these worries? No one knows nothing anymore Nobody really knows the score Nobody knows anything Let’s break it down and start again
